BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man who authorities say entered the U.S. Capitol with his juvenile son during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot has been charged with misdemeanor crimes. Court records released Friday say 54-year-old Patrick William O’Brien and his son were inside the Capitol for 28 minutes, and that the son took a mouse pad from a security desk. Officials have arrested more than 950 people linked to the riot in which supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol while Congress was certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
