Officials said Thomas Fee took this selfie while storming the Capitol Rotunda on Jan. 6. (Federal court documents)
FREEPORT, NY A retired New York City firefighter from Freeport was arrested Tuesday and accused of breaking into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Thomas Fee is charged with violent entry, disorderly conduct and knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. He surrendered to authorities Tuesday morning.
At a hearing on Tuesday, Fee was released on bail of a $100,000 bond. He is also barred from attending any political rallies, and is not allowed to visit the U.S. Capitol or any state capitols. The court also made him surrender two firearms he owns. He is only allowed to travel around Long Island, to New York City, and to Washingtong, D.C. for court business.
Two men from New York were charged by federal officials on Monday for their alleged involvement in the deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month..
