One of five Michigan republican candidates for Governor is arrested for being at January 6th “insurrection”
ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (wood) — Ryan Kelley, one of the Republican candidates for Michigan governor, has been arrested on charges in the January 6th riot, the FBI confirmed to news 8.
Kelley was charged in federal court on Thursday for knowingly entering U.S. Capitol or its grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in that space, knowingly engaging in any physical violence against persons or property on U.S. Capitol grounds and willfully injuring or attacking property of the United States, court documents say.
“In this case, the FBI received multiple tips regarding Ryan Kelley’s presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021,” court documents stated.
Those tips were both anonymous and from people who left their names. They came in online and through the FBI tip line. An FBI source also identified one of the people seen at the Capitol as Kelley.
Federal investigators included photos of Kelley in a backwards baseball cap trying to rally a pro-Donald Trump crowd. The FBI says images show Kelley recording the crowd pushing past Capitol Police outside the building on the northwestern scaffolding.
“At approximately 2:00 p.m., KELLEY climbed onto and stood on an architectural feature next to the North West stairs and indicated by waving his hand that the crowd behind him should move towards the stairs leading into the U.C. Capitol building,” the document reads in part.
The document does not say Kelley entered the building, but indicates he at least moved onto the stairs and then climbed onto “an architectural feature” next to the stairs.
