M.T.A. Worker and Wife Participated in Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, U.S. Says
The New York Times
Kevin and Carol Moore, of Massapequa, N.Y., are charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct. They were identified through photographic evidence, the U.S. said.
A Metropolitan Transportation Authority employee and his wife appeared in federal court Thursday to face charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
Kevin Moore, who works for the M.T.A.’s department of buses, and Carol Moore, of Massapequa, N.Y., were arrested by the F.B.I. on Wednesday and appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arlene Lindsay in Central Islip, N.Y., on Thursday to face the charges, both misdemeanors. They were released without bail.
The F.B.I. was first alerted to allegations of the Moores’ participation in the Capitol riot through an anonymous tip, according to the charges, which were unsealed Thursday.
The couple were identified through photographic evidence before and during the assault on the Capitol in Washington, D.C., the charges said. Security photographs showed a man and woman, said to be the Moores, entering the Senate Wing door at 3:12 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, walking back and forth through the lobby and then exiting about eight minutes later, according to the document. The charges say that Mr. Moore, now 61, “aggressively yelled and gestured at a law enforcement officer” while he was inside the lobby.
John Carman, a lawyer representing the Moores, did not dispute the couple’s presence at the Capitol that day, writing in an email that they were there to lawfully express “their genuine concerns about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.”
He also said Mr. Moore was “giving aid to others who had been sprayed with Mace.”
