The FBI has arrested a Windermere police officer and the man's son- a former police officer- for their alleged involvement in the riot at the U.S. Capitol in January. Officer Kevin Tuck has been with the Windermere Police Department since 2019 and before that worked for 6 years with the Longwood Police Department. Tuck's son- Nathaniel Tuck- is a former officer with the Apopka Police Department who resigned last year.
In a statement, Windermere Police Chief David Ogden said he's 'disheartened' by Tuck's arrest. Tuck resigned from the agency Thursday morning.
The father and son are facing a long list of charges including obstruction of an official proceeding, aiding and abetting, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, entering and remaining in the gallery of congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
The two men went before a judge in Orlando Thursday and were released on bond. They have a court appearance in Washington D.C. set for July 22.
