Agents said Kenneth Kelly was arrested on charges of entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building.

According to court records, a family member reported him to the authorities saying Kelly went to the capitol planning to break in. That person provided text messages showing Kelly was in Washington D.C. at the time.

Investigators scrubbed surveillance footage and apparently found Kelly walking the halls. They also used location data from his phone which placed him in the restricted areas.
