Former US Olympic swimmer Klete Keller has been indicted for more charges in connection with the January 6 riots on Capitol Hill.
A grand jury returned a new charge on Wednesday accusing Keller of seven riot-related crimes, including civil disorder, obstructing an official process, impeding passage through Capitol land or buildings, and as disorderly and disturbing conduct in a Capitol building.
Keller, 38, was arrested last month and originally charged obstructing law enforcement, intentionally entering or staying in any restricted building or land without legal authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol land. He was released on bail on 22 January.
Former teammates and coaches Recognized Keller social media video posted by a reporter to a conservative news site city Hall. The swim news site SwimSwam reported that at least a dozen people identified him by the video.
Keller was seen wearing his US Team jacket while standing over a crowd that pushed police officers trying to clean the Capitol Rotunda. The FBI pointed to the video in a sworn statement filed on January 13, noting that the red and white Olympic emblem was seen on the front left side of the jacket.
Keller, former teammate of swimming star Michael Phelps, won five medals in three Olympic games, including gold medals in the 2004 games in Athens and 2008 in Beijing. He recently worked as a realtor for Hoff & Leigh, but the company said he “resigned from the company”.
