Feds say Chicago man charged with entering US Capitol during attack posted photo outside Nancy Pelosi's office
criminal complaint
CHICAGO — A Chicago man was arrested Wednesday on federal charges alleging he participated in last week's mob attack on the U.S. Capitol, posting a photo of ...
the plaque outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's ransacked office.
Kevin Lyons, 40, of the Gladstone Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side, was charged in a criminal complaint in Washington with misdemeanor counts of knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Authorities said he also took phone videos while in the building.
He was arrested at his home in the 5500 block of North Mason Avenue and appeared via a telephone link from jail before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Fuentes, who ordered him released on a $10,000 recognizance bond.
As part of the conditions of release, Fuentes ordered Lyons to have no contact with anyone involved in the Jan. 6 riot or anyone planning "any act that would impede or disturb the normal course of business" of Congress or any other federal agency.
Lyons spoke quickly when asked if he understood each condition, at one point laughing as he said, "I understand and agree, your honor."
His court-appointed attorney, Lawrence Wolf Levin, did not address the charges during the hearing.
Before the incident at the Capitol, Lyons had posted a message on his Instagram account stating "STOP THE STEAL" — a reference to President Donald Trump's false claims the election was stolen. He also posted a map showing he was headed from Chicago to Washington with a caption that read, "I refuse to tell my children that I sat back and did nothing."
It appears from that account that Lyons works as an HVAC technician.
According to the 12-page criminal complaint, Lyons was interviewed by the FBI in Chicago two days after the riot. At first, he was "evasive" about whether he'd been at the Capitol, saying he'd had a "dream" where people were being herded by a mob and there was "a lot of banging on doors" and "paper being thrown about."
