Multiple Stephen Colbert Show Staffers Arrested At U.S. House Office Building

WASHINGTON, DC. (THECOUNT) — The U.S. Capitol Police arrested nine staffers working with CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” after they allegedly illegally entered a U.S. House of Representatives office building on Thursday night.

One of those arrested was Robert Smigel, who is known for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

The group was arrested Thursday in the Longworth House Office Building. The same group had been escorted out of the Jan. 6 committee hearing earlier in the day because they did not have proper press credentials.

The same group resurfaced later on Thursday night after the Capitol complex was closed to public visitors and Fox News is told that they took videos and pictures around the offices of two Republican members of Congress, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy R-Calif. and Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.

The group was unescorted and charged with illegal entry to House office buildings after hours.

A senior source in the U.S House of Representatives told Fox News that the following individuals associated with Stephen Colbert’s show were arrested:

Robert Smigel
Jake Plunkett
Allison Martinez
Tyrone Dean
Stephen Romond
Nicoletta Green
Brendan Hurley
Josh Comers
David Feldman

The U.S. Capitol Police told Fox News in a statement that it received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday and said that additional charges could be filed.
