A Wisconsin man who posted on Facebook that he was among those wanted for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol during last week’s deadly riot was arrested in Eau Claire on Tuesday and faces charges in federal court.
Kevin Daniel Loftus, 52, appeared in federal court on Tuesday and was released from custody. He was arrested for illegally entering either house of Congress or adjacent areas, and disorderly conduct on the grounds of the Capitol.
The criminal complaint shows pictures posted on Facebook and other social media sources of the man identified as Loftus holding an American flag and smiling inside the Capitol in the halls of Congress.
