Stalinist America - Simply Arrest Your Opponents: Michigan Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Arrested for Connection to Jan. 6 Capitol Breach

Michigan gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley was arrested Thursday and charged with participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, according to federal prosecutors in a court filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Kelley, a Republican, was taken into custody on four misdemeanor charges that stem from the Jan. 6 breach, prosecutors said in court documents filed Thursday. He’ll make his first court appearance Thursday, according to reports.

A criminal complaint by federal prosecutors noted that Kelley didn’t actually enter the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Instead, he is being charged with entering and remaining within a “restricted building or grounds without lawful authority,” disorderly conduct in a restricted building or grounds, knowingly engaging in an act of physical violence against a person or property on restricted grounds, and willfully injuring or committing any depredation against any property of the U.S.

It’s not clear if he has an attorney. There was no immediate comment from Kelley’s campaign, and The Epoch Times has contacted it for comment.
