It is unclear whether Keller has been arrested.

Klete Keller, the five-time Olympic swimming medalist, has been charged with participating in last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

Keller, 38, was identified via screenshots from a video of hundreds of protesters inside the building during Congress's joint session Jan. 6 to certify the Electoral College slate.

An FBI complaint filed in a U.S. District Court requested a warrant to charge Keller with knowingly entering a restricted building, attempting to impede an official government function, disorderly conduct, and obstructing law officers.

Keller competed in the 2000, 2004, and 2008 Summer Olympic games, during which he won two gold metals, a silver, and a pair of bronzes.

Keller's alleged involvement with the incident was first reported by SwimSwam, a website dedicated to coverage of swimming and other water sports. According to the site's report, several individuals involved with the sport have identified Keller as the man in footage of the January 6 breach.

In the video, the man who has been identified as Keller, who stands tall among the crowd at 6-foot-6, is shown wearing a U.S. Olympic team jacket.

Keller, whose social media accounts have been taken down since last week, was reportedly a vocal supporter of President Trump across platforms. The company for which he most recently worked, a real estate firm in Colorado, says he has resigned.

SwimSwan also reports that Keller struggled after his Olympic success, having gotten divorced, then becoming homeless for at least 10 months.

They will identify and charge all the actual Trump supporters.

All the other wacko Q-tards, antifa, and other leftist subversives will be released with press passes, congressional aid status or disappear completely.

Now if they can prove that Keller broke into the capital, attacked or fought police, or damaged property they by all means charge him.

Seeing all the people arrested, compared to the ANTIFA shit - really drives home the facts that bioleninism is completely true.

Sun tanned Adonis studs and chads all over the place at the DC protest. Lumpy blue haired weirdos and chicks with dicks at all the liberal left riots.

He's being thoroughly doxxed on the local subreddit, and taking his medals is part of it.

I hope he doesn't lose those medals. Just to make that team but to medal in the games is huge.
Hell, 2000 was loaded with freestyle talent, Thorpe, Popav, Hall. To medal at that Olympiad was tip of the spear.

To a Liberal, the crime isn't Rioting. It's Supporting America.

And this is why there can never be a coming together like Biden has asked for.
Forget Hell.
The Dems started this shit four years ago, now the shoe is on the other foot and they don't like it.

A lot of Antifa got off because of their similar get ups and masks prevented accurate ID.

You should post less.  From this sample size your posts are likely extremely stupid and statist.

You know what I'm learning from these arrests?

The protestors at the capitol that day came from a very diverse, socially, background.
