Federal conspiracy charges have been filed against two members of the Proud Boys who threw smoke grenades at a line of officers guarding the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots.

A second superseding indictment filed on Wednesday charges Nicholas DeCarlo, also known as “Dick Lambaste,” and Nicholas Ochs, the founding member of the Proud Boys Hawaii chapter, with conspiracy. In 2022, they were sentenced to four years in prison for their roles in the riots after pleading guilty in September 2022 to obstruction of an official proceeding. They were among Jan. 6 defendants who argued to have their obstruction charges thrown out well before the Supreme Court narrowed the degree to which the specific obstruction charge can be applied in such cases.
