Federal prosecutors have charged another person from our area with participating in the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, this time a man who said he traveled to Washington, D.C., with a former member of the NYPD (his brother) and the Proud Boys.

The FBI said Christopher Kelly, of New York, posted photos of himself on Facebook joining with the rioters.

“No worries, I’ll be with ex NYPD and some proud boys,” he wrote back “This will be the most historic event of my life.”
