Two more South Carolinians were arrested Monday by the FBI in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
The men, both from the Greenville area, are John Barry Chisholm, 34, and Michael Anderson, 44, according to a federal complaint.
They were arraigned in Greenville on Friday morning before U.S Magistrate Judge Kevin F. McDonald. They each posted an unsecured bond of $25,000.
Both are charged with knowingly entering a restricted area, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted area, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a Capitol building and parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building, according to federal court records.
Tipsters helped the FBI identify Anderson and Chisholm and steered federal agents to Facebook posts by both men that appeared to discuss about their participation in a mob of Trump supporters who tried to prevent former Vice President Mike Pence from certifying the November 2020 election in which Joe Biden won a majority of electoral votes.
One tipster, who knew Chisholm personally, told the FBI that Chisholm “had posted photographs on social media from inside the (Capitol) building but that he later deleted the photographs,” according to a federal complaint that named both men.
Chisholm also wrote on Facebook that Pence had the power “to send it (the election) back to the states,” the complaint said.
Video footage obtained by the FBI showed both Anderson and Chisholm inside the U.S. Capitol, the complaint said. Each was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with large numbers “864” written in yellow across the front.
“Based on my knowledge of the area, I know that 864 is the area code for the area around Greenville, South Carolina,” the FBI agent who drafted the complaint wrote.
