First North Carolinian Arrested for Capitol Riots

In Criminal by Greensboro Attorney

Greensboro Attorney

The short version

With North Carolina being located in close proximity to Washington DC, our lawyers in Greensboro figured it was only a matter of time before someone from NC was arrested in the capitol riots. This is exactly what happened yesterday.

An NC man was seen on three separate videos at the U.S. Capitol building as well as live streamed videos from his Facebook account. He was seen on video, yelling, ‘stop the steal.’ Our Greensboro criminal lawyer has been advised that he’s been charged with trespassing as well as violent entry, disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice. He had his initial appearance in Greensboro.
