A Denton County man who is accused of participating in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot surrendered Monday, the latest North Texan to be accused in the attack.
Kerry Wayne Persick, 41, of Trophy Club, is accused of entering a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct, violent entry, and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
He was released under certain conditions, including that he does not communicate with other accused rioters.
A criminal complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia includes color photographs of Persick inside and outside the U.S. Capitol building wearing a red “Make America Great Again” ball cap.
