A St. Augustine man remains behind bars after his first appearance before a federal magistrate Thursday in Jacksonville on multiple charges in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol.
John Steven Anderson, 61, will stay in custody until his Friday detention hearing after U.S. Magistrate Monte Richardson heard federal prosecutors give a synopsis of the charges based on police bodycam and other video. The video is chaotic, Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Talbot told the judge.
Anderson s arrest was reported a day after the invasion of the Capitol in Washington. Dozens of rioters are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
