Brian McCreary has been identified as the man on the left wearing a facemask in these images from the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A second Berkshire County man has been arrested in relation to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Brian McCreary, 33, of North Adams was arrested near Springfield on Thursday by agents from the FBI's Boston bureau.
McCreary is facing initial charges of two counts of entering a restricted building or grounds, and three counts of violent entry and disorderly conduct. A number of those arrested have had further charges added.
David Lester Ross, 33, of Pittsfield was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 and charged the next day with curfew violation and unlawful entry.
McCreary was identified by a co-worker in an image with the so-called "QAnon shaman" Jacob Chansley, who is being held in an Arizona detention facility.
Western Mass New reports that the FBI interviewed four of McCreary's co-workers, who identified him in the pictures and said he spoke of "raiding" the U.S. Capitol.

Letter: Berkshire Job Market
To the Editor:
According to the experts in John Townes' article "Employment Experts: Berkshire County Has 'Healthy Labor Market,'" there are plenty of jobs here. I noticed, though, that the experts failed to give even one example of an employer who hasn't been able to fill their vacancies. Let's hope this oversight is corrected as this series continues.
Check out the events happening in the Berkshires this weekend including a circus, movie nights, parties and more. (Note that the Clarksburg Pickle Fest has now been postponed to Aug. 29.)
