CHICAGO (AP) — Another Illinois resident has been charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Forty-four-year-old Athanasios Zoyganeles of Chicago is charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

He was arrested Tuesday. Court records don’t list a defense attorney for him.

Charging documents say Zoyganeles had planned on traveling to Washington for weeks.
