Fisher, who retired from BPD in 2016, potentially faces up to 20 years in federal prison on just the charge of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers. At approximately 2:38 P.M., Fisher was in the Capitol Visitor Center’s Orientation Lobby where an altercation began between a U.S. Capitol Police Officer and other rioters. As a U.S. Capitol Police Officer pursued a rioter who had deployed pepper spray, Fisher pushed a chair into the Capitol Police Officer. Fisher then engaged in a physical altercation with the Capitol Police Officer. A second BPD officer who drove to Washington with Abasciano was not disciplined because he didn't publicly call for violence against people with whom he disagreed.
