RENO — A 34-year-old Winnemucca man has been arrested on multiple charges related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, including assaulting law officers with what prosecutors say appeared to be a table leg with a protruding nail.
A U.S. magistrate in Reno ordered Josiah Kenyon to remain jailed Friday without bail until he's transported to Washington to face the charges. They include engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon.
Kenyon was arrested in Reno on Wednesday. He made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court on Friday via a video-hookup along with his court-appointed federal public defender Lauren Gorman.
Gorman asserted Kenyon's constitutional rights to remain silent and have his attorney present. She didn't immediately respond to a request for comment afterward.
A federal criminal complaint says photographs and video show Kenyon was among the rioters who entered the Capitol. He wore a red "Make America Great Again" hat and a "Jack Skellington" costume, based on a character from the movie, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," the complaint said.
Kenyon tried to break a Capitol window with a flag staff and assaulted officers with several objects, including the table leg, it said.
