Former Marine, cop and metal worker. KC Proud Boys appear in court on riot charges

An Olathe man who federal prosecutors allege was the leader of a cell of Kansas City-area Proud Boys that breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 will remain in federal custody, a judge ruled Friday.

William “Billy” Chrestman will be detained until Wednesday, when U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge James O’Hara will hear arguments on whether to release him pending further proceedings in the case.

Colon is a former Blue Springs police officer and Kuehne is a retired Marine Corps officer.
