Two and a half weeks after the riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department is still handing out new charges to rioters.
According to CNN, two more men have been arrested and charged for their roles in the insurrection. Kevin Strong, who works for the Federal Aviation Administration, was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. He was arrested on Friday.
Strong was reported to the FBI, who already had opened an investigation on him, by a colleague at the FAA. His home was searched on January 16, and two guns owned by Strong’s uncle and multiple digital devices were seized. Investigators also found QAnon items while searching the home.Â
Andrew Ericson, 23, was charged with two misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry on restricted buildings or grounds and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. According to prosecutors, he live-streamed himself entering the Capitol and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office on Snapchat. He was also arrested on Friday.
The FBI was contacted by someone who had a previous professional relationship with Ericson and saw his live-stream on Snapchat.
