The attorney for Charles Joseph Donohoe, the Kernersville resident and local Proud Boys leader facing federal charges in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, said in court papers filed Thursday that her client is not a flight risk and should be released from custody, describing Donohoe as a family man who respects law-enforcement and loves his country.
Lisa Costner, Donohoeâs attorney, also pushed back on claims made by federal prosecutors that Donohoe played a pivotal role in leading his fellow Proud Boys in storming the Capitol. In fact, Costner said in court papers, Donohoe went to Washington, D.C. at the last minute and never entered the Capitol, destroyed property or assaulted law-enforcement officers. She said Donohoe also did not encourage anyone else to destroy property or assault law-enforcement officers.
