Magistrate denies bail for Conway man charged in Capitol riot
Federal Magistrate Thomas Ray ordered that
Peter Stager of Conway be denied release as he awaits further proceedings arising from his arrest in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Ray heard arguments from the government and Stager’s lawyer Lauren Elenbaas of Conway then ruled that there were “no conditions or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the safety of the community.”

Stager was present, but didn’t speak.
Ray ordered Stager detained until resolution of all charges and said an order transferring Stager to the District of Columbia will follow. So far, he’s been charged with one count of obstructing a police officer from his duties during a civil disorder.
