A Shelby Township man arrested for allegedly breaking into the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot was released on bond after appearing in federal court Thursday.
James Allen Mels, 56, told FBI agents he traveled to Washington D.C. with 11 other “like-minded Patriots” he met online and said a prayer before entering the U.S. Capitol. Mels was arrested on Feb. 11 and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted on two charges; knowingly entering a restricted building and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
