A Mechanicsburg man was released from federal custody Tuesday after being arraigned on four offenses, including assault, related to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Barton Wade Shively, who is in his early 50s, went to police on Jan. 14 to share what he did at the Capitol, a prosecutor said Tuesday afternoon. Since that time though, prosecutors allege he also has obstructed justice twice in connection with his case.
