Bruno, 18, of Milton, Georgia, who has been described as the youngest person arrested in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot, has written to a federal judge asking to be released to his parents while he awaits trial, the New York Post reported.
After about a month in federal custody, Bruno told U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss that he would “not step one foot out of line” if he could return to his family’s suburban Atlanta home. The Post reports he has been denied release before.
According to the Post, his parents traveled to Washington with him and attended the rally that came before the riot, which has been part of the argument against releasing him. Prosecutors have also pointed to social media posts attributed to him, including an Instagram post after the riot saying “we physically fought our way in.”
In his letter, Bruno said he has “completely lost those aggressive feelings” and is “not a danger to anyone.”
He is charged with assault on a federal officer, civil disorder and several other counts, including entering the Senate floor, the Post reported. The charges are allegations and he has not been convicted.
