PENNSYLVANIA — Authorities in Washington, D.C. announced arrests made in connection with the siege on the United States Capitol building that occurred Wednesday as Congress convened to certify the presidential election results. Among those arrested were more than a dozen Pennsylvania residents.
Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia Thursday announced hundreds of arrests tied to Wednesday's event, in which supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in an effort to block president-elect Joe Biden's victory in the general election. Among the numerous arrests were 14 Pennsylvanians.
(snip - list of names/ages)
Others have been charged with crimes including assault on police, resisting arrest, rioting, burglary, threatening to kidnap or cause injury, defacing public property, firearms crimes, and more. See the full list of arrests and charges here (PDF).
Police in Washington, D.C. are asking for the public's help identifying others who were involved in Wednesday's events and released a list of those sought. Additionally, a Pennsylvania man was among four people who died during the chaos. Benjamin Phillips, 50, of Ringtown in Schuylkill County, died of an unspecified "medical emergency," according to Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III.
