3 years after the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, 25 people from South Carolina have been charged for their alleged involvement with the breach.
The more than 1,200 Capitol riot cases, which include 25 defendants from South Carolina, are at a rare intersection of crime, politics, the rule of law and numerous conspiracy theories.
Stephen Maury Baker was taken into custody and had his initial court appearance on Monday, according to the FBI. Baker becomes the third man from the Carolinas charged in connection to the riots. Christopher Raphael Spencer of Pilot Mountain, N.C. was taken into custody without incident by special agents two weeks ago.
