Law & Crime reports:
A federal judge has ordered a North Carolina man charged with being among the first to assault police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 back to jail after he was found allegedly driving while intoxicated with a cache of ammunition and an AR-15 in his car.
James Tate Grant, 29, was arrested in October and charged with storming the Capitol as hundreds of Donald Trump supporters overran police and breached the building in an effort to stop the certification of Joe Biden‘s win in the 2020 presidential election.
According to the conditions of his pretrial release, Grant was not allowed to violate any state or federal laws. He also couldn’t possess a firearm and had to submit to regular drug testing. In addition to the DWI charge, Grant tested positive for amphetamines in October and November, according to the pretrial violation report.
