A federal judge has blocked the release of Eric Gavelek Munchel, 30, the D.C. insurrection defendant better known as "zip tie guy." There's a still a chance he could be released pending trial, but Beryl A. Howell, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, wants to review a Tennessee magistrate judge's prior decision.
So far nine people
with Tennessee connections have been arrested on charges related to last month s U.S. Capitol riot in Washington D.C.
In order of the most recent arrested, here are the nine
