POLICE ARRESTS SIX MICHIGAN RESIDENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE INSURRECTION AT THE US CAPITOL BUILDING

About six residents of Michigan have been arrested in connection with the insurrection at the US Captiol building on Wednesday.


The Washington Metropolitan Police Department said four of the suspects were arrested for violating the 6pm curfew imposed by the Mayor.


It said one was arrested for a curfew violation as well as unlawful entry. The last suspect, Logan Grimes, 25, was arrested for carrying a pistol without a license, carrying unregistered ammunition, and carrying a large capacity ammunition feeding device.


The Police said Grimes could spend up to nine years or pay a $27,000 fine if he is convicted.

 

Recall, four persons were confirmed dead, including a woman who was shot by security operatives, on Wednesday as President Trump's supporters invaded one of the most iconic American buildings, the Capitol, engulfing Washington, the nation's capital in the process.
