Two and a half weeks after the riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department is still announcing new charges against people accused of taking part.
According to CNN, two more men were arrested on Friday. Kevin, who works for the Federal Aviation Administration, was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Court documents say a colleague at the FAA reported Kevin to the FBI, which had already opened an investigation. Authorities searched his home on January 16 and, according to the filings, seized two guns owned by a relative along with several digital devices. Investigators also reported finding items linked to the QAnon movement.
Andrew, 23, was charged with two misdemeanors, unlawful entry on restricted buildings or grounds and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. According to prosecutors, he live streamed himself on Snapchat as he walked into the Capitol and into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office.
The FBI says it was contacted by someone who knew Andrew from a past job and saw the stream.
Both men were arrested on Friday. The charges are allegations, and neither man has been convicted. Baller Alert will keep following the cases as they move through court.
