Three active-duty US marines arrested for participating in Capitol attack

Three active-service US marines, all with ties to intelligence work, were arrested this week for taking part in the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol, according to federal documents newly unsealed.

The men, all long-serving, were taken into custody on Wednesday on four charges, bringing to 12 the number of US military members charged in connection with the deadly insurrection by supporters of outgoing president Donald Trump as they tried to prevent the certification by Congress of his defeat by Joe Biden. The news was first reported by military.com.

The men face misdemeanor charges including trespass, disruptive and disorderly conduct and obstructing government business.

Additional proof came from cell phone records showing the three were in the building, Randall wrote.
