Ryan Nichols and Alex Harkrider are seen Jan. 6 outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The two men have been charged in connection with the Capitol riot.


A Longview man being held on charges from the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol “presents a clear, concrete, and continuing danger to the community,” federal prosecutors said in response to his request to be released ahead of trial.

Ryan Taylor Nichols, 30, is in a Washington, D.C., jail facing five felony and three misdemeanor charges connected to the January riots, according to documents in the case. On Nov. 1, Nichols’ attorney, Joseph D. McBride of New York, filed a motion asking the court to release his client on his own recognizance ahead of trial.

“Nichols called for war against his fellow citizens, and he arrived at the Capitol prepared for battle,” federal prosecutors said in a document filed Monday opposing his request for release.

In the motion, Assistant U.S. Attorney Luke M. Jones and attorney with the Department of Justice National Security Division Danielle Rosborough said Nichols assaulted law enforcement officers during the riot and incited other people to violence.
