LOS ANGELES, June 7 (Reuters) - A Hollywood actor who has appeared on such TV shows as "Arrested Development" and the cartoon hit "Bob's Burgers," was arrested on Wednesday for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, that sought to keep Donald Trump in the White House. Johnston surrendered on Wednesday to the FBI field office in Los Angeles, where he is a resident, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement. Johnston has appeared in dozens of films and television shows, often portraying law enforcement officers, including recurring roles as a cop on the comedies "The Sarah Silverman Program" and "Arrested Development." He was banned from the show in 2021 after he was identified as having participated in the Jan. 6 mob, according to the Daily Beast.

Show with Bob and David' actor has been charged with a felony over his alleged actions at the January 6 Capitol siege. The actor was arrested in California, according to Ryan J. Reilly of NBC News. In December, Johnston was removed from the cast of "Bob's Burgers," and a number of his former colleagues — including actor and comedy writer Tim Heidecker — suggested on Twitter that Johnston was the man in the photo. Three current or former associates of Johnston identified him in the photographs circulated by the FBI, according to the federal complaint. Johnston has been charged with felony obstruction of officers during civil disorder, unlawful entry on restricted buildings or grounds, and impeding passage through Capitol grounds.
