(+)	A Broadway actor currently playing Judas in a traveling production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" was arrested Tuesday on charges related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, authorities said. James Beeks, 49, of Orlando, is charged with obstruction of Congress, which is a felony, and unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds, a misdemeanor, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia. Prosecutors said Beeks is "an affiliate of the Oath Keepers," who joined up with some members of the anti-government organization on Jan. 6 and marched in a "stack" formation that stormed into the Capitol. "Beeks was part of a mob of people, including some who attacked law enforcement," the statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office said. While most of the people in the group wore "camouflage-combat attire," helmets and clothing with Oath Keeper logos and insignia, Beeks was wearing a Michael Jackson BAD world tour jacket, and carried a homemade shield, according to an arrest warrant that included photos of Beeks at the Capitol. Beeks told another suspect that "he had recently joined the Oath Keepers," the arrest warrant said. He paid dues to the far-right organization in late December of last year. Beeks, the warrant said, is performing in a traveling 50th anniversary tour of "Jesus Christ Superstar" under the stage name of James T. Justis. He is playing the part of Judas. He has also performed on Broadway in "Kinky Boots," "Aida," "Ragtime" and "Smokey Joes Cafe," according to his cast bio, which said he is also a published poet who is working on a book called "HisStory." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-man-playing-judas-jesus-christ-superstar-accused-jan-6-capitol-rcna6591 --- 32-13 <cite>Everyonedies posted [p:960313269] in Judas was ...
