U.S. judge orders continued pretrial detention for accused Jan. 6 rioter 'King James'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday ordered continued pretrial detention for a former U.S. Marine facing multiple felony charges related to his allegedly violent conduct, including throwing a pole at police, during the Jan. 6. U.S. Capitol riot.
Beryl Howell, chief U.S. District judge in Washington, told Arizona resident James McGrew, 39, that the "weight of evidence is strong and merits pretrial detention."
Howell said McGrew had violated probation he was serving for an earlier offense by travelling to Washington on Jan. 6 and had an extensive criminal record.
The judge said McGrew, whose abdomen features a large gothic-lettered tattoo labelling him "King James," participated "enthusiastically ... in a violent assault on the Capitol," assuming a leadership position among rioters.
