A Melrose man and four of his family members from Texas are the latest people charged with raiding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 after a rally addressed by former President Donald Trump.
Joshua Munn, 23, appeared in federal court in Madison Tuesday and waived his rights to a preliminary or detention hearing and was released on standard conditions not to commit any crimes, influence witnesses or obstruct investigators. His next hearing is set for July 21
According to the U.S. Attorney s Office in Madison, Munn is from Melrose, in Jackson County.
According to court records, he and at least four other family members left Texas to attend the rally in January. The five are now charged with entering a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restricted building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
Five members of a Texas family were arrested on Tuesday for entering the U.S. Capitol together during the January 6 insurrection. Federal investigators pointed to extensive social media posts from many members of the family in order to make the arrests on Tuesday, in one of the largest single-day sweeps of defendants in one Capitol riot case to date. The Justice Department said that Thomas Tom Munn had encouraged people on social media to travel to DC in the weeks before the riot. In a December Facebook post, Tom Munn wrote, Our President has only asked two things from us, so far. #1 Vote #2 January 6, 2021. In another post cited in court documents, Tom Munn wrote The time has come!
