Overview
- Scott Pichon was arrested on a federal warrant by a deputy U.S. marshal and charged with felony assault, court records show.
- An Amtrak police sergeant reported that Pichon rode up outside Union Station on an e‑scooter, made a mucus-clearing sound, and spit on two South Carolina Guard soldiers.
- Court filings say the mixture landed on one soldier’s face and the other’s neck at about 4:43 p.m., with images captured by a nearby security camera.
- One outlet that reviewed the surveillance video reported it shows Pichon passing and the soldiers reacting but does not clearly depict spit in the air.
- Pichon, licensed to practice law in Maryland since 2019, faces federal charges as DC hosts out-of-state Guard units under Trump’s anti-crime initiative.
