Authorities said they kept a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia tied up for hours on Tuesday as they prepared to file more charges in what acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin called an unprecedented investigation.

Among the people arrested by the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department on Wednesday after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol are at least seven from North Carolina.
D.C. police released a list of arrests made on Wednesday labeled as “unrest-related.”
That list includes Earl Glosser, 40, of Matthews, a Charlotte suburb. Glosser was charged with curfew violation and unlawful entry. According to court documents, Glosser did not disperse after at least three warnings from police. The documents say police warned people to leave Capitol grounds and that Glosser was among those who did not.
Also on the list is Jay Thaxton, 46, of Concord, another Charlotte suburb, who was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department on New York Avenue for violating curfew. The report says Thaxton was seen with others leaving the Bond Federal Building and “given at least three warnings to vacate but they did not.”
