NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A federal magistrate judge has ruled that the mother of a Tennessee man who authorities say carried flexible plastic handcuffs during the riot at the U.S. Capitol can be released from custody.
Lisa Eisenhart is accused of breaking into the U.S. Capitol with her son, Eric Munchel of Nashville.
Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Frensley ruled Monday that Eisenhart poses no flight risk or danger to the public while awaiting trial.
Frensley ruled the same last week in the case of Eisenhart’s son, but a federal judge in Washington blocked Munchel’s release.
Authorities have said Munchel carried flexible plastic handcuffs during the insurrection.

More than a dozen people charged in the Capitol riot appeared in federal courts in Tennessee, Texas and the District of Columbia on Monday – just a fraction of the 100+ defendants already charged in the case.
In Texas, Garret Miller – the alleged Capitol rioter who tweeted “Assassinate AOC” and threatened a Capitol Police officer – apologized to the New York congresswoman and said in a written statement released by his attorney that he had been “following the instructions of former President Trump” whose after November 6 “had been believed the election was stolen from him.”
