Ben, a religious Jew living in Ocean County, watched coverage of rioters storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, as the Senate prepared to confirm the Electoral College vote naming Joe Biden as president, and immediately thought: was Timothy Hale-Cusanelli there?
Hale-Cusanelli of Colts Neck, in Monmouth County, has been a contractor at Naval Weapons Station Earle, also in Colts Neck, with secret security clearance and a human resource specialist in the 174th Infantry Brigade, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in the Reserves.
Hale-Cusanelli is also charged with six counts resulting from his actions in the riot that left five people dead including Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, a native of South River in Middlesex County, and 140 police officers injured. Hale-Cusanelli was arrested at his home Jan. 15.
