Feds Charge Hammond, Indiana, Man With Entering U.S. Capitol During Riots

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A Northwest Indiana man accused of breaking into the United State Capitol during last week's riot is facing federal charges.

The FBI says pictures show Kash Lee Kelly, of Hammond, waving a flag on the wall of the Capitol building and posing with a statue inside.

The FBI says they received an anonymous tip after Kelly posted pictures of himself at the capitol on Facebook.


Editor's note: On Jan. 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to approximately 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, adding that he hoped those who were incarcerated would be released immediately. His proclamation listed the names of 14 people and reduced their sentences to time served.
