The Keene man who admitted he entered the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6 riot in Washington, D.C., was taken into federal custody Monday afternoon.

Jason Riddle, 32, was arrested in Keene without incident, according to a news release from the FBI’s Boston division. His charges, as reported Friday, are knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, theft of government property and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

According to a criminal complaint filed against him in federal court in Washington, D.C., Riddle entered the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 riot, which started in the early afternoon and lasted through early evening, and stole wine and a book from the Senate parliamentarian’s office.

Riddle was scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Concord Monday afternoon, but that hearing was postponed until Tuesday at 4 p.m.

1. WTG Keene

Remember, Anarchist, white supremacist, and overall crazy person Christopher Cantwell hails from Keene. He got his start harrassing parking meter readers.

I hope the government doesn't run out of books that they're throwing at this terrorists.

2. It's kind of fun that alot of these idiots are sitting home waiting for a knock on the door.

Not knowing if and when that knock is coming must lead to many sleepless nights.
