3 More MN Residents Charged In Jan. 6 Capitol Breach

MINNESOTA — The U.S. Department of Justice has charged three Minnesota men with obstructing law enforcement during the attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Accused are relatives Kenneth Wayne Fuller (44) and Caleb Kenneth Fuller (20) of Cleveland and Nicholas John Fuller (40) of Mapleton, said the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.

All three men are seen in body-worn camera footage from U.S. Capitol officers working on the exterior west plaza of the Capitol, allege DOJ officials. They "can be seen consistently in front of police lines at various locations along the west plaza between approximately 3:30 pm and 4:50 pm resisting police officer movement and activity," the DOJ said, citing court documents.

Each man was charged with one felony count of obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, and misdemeanor counts of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and disorderly conduct in a restricted building or grounds, said officials.

Kenneth Fuller is the father of Caleb Fuller and the brother of Nicholas Fuller, said Department of Justice officials.

Nine other Minnesotans have been charged in the Capitol riots, according to previous Patch reporting.
