A doctor who worked at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital is accused of punching a D.C. Metro cop in the head during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint. Jacquelyn J. Starer, M.D., who was arrested Tuesday, can be seen in body-cam footage striking the female officer inside the Capitol Rotunda, says the complaint, which includes still frames of the incriminating video. Starer was IDed by a tipster just days after a violent pro-Trump mob sacked the U.S. Capitol, telling the FBI that the doctor, whose LinkedIn profile says she specializes in addiction recovery, “bragged to a mutual acquaintance that she ‘was prepared’ for [Jan. 6], with a mesh knife-proof shirt and bottles of pepper spray,” the complaint states. Investigators also used cell phone records and a reservation at the D.C. Kimpton George Hotel, to place Starer in D.C. on Jan. 6.
