HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) A federal magistrate has revoked the bond for a northwest Indiana man awaiting sentencing in a gang-related case after the FBI charged him for allegedly taking part in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew P. Rodovich in Hammond granted the federal government’s motion Thursday to revoke bond for Kash Lee Kelly, 32.
The government’s request came after the FBI charged Kelly with federal charges that include unlawful entry to a restricted area for allegedly joining Donald Trump supporters in storming the Capitol, said U.S. District prosecuting attorney David Nozick.
