Daily News | Feds: Philly Amtrak employee skipped work to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6
Most of the defendants, like Andrulonis, face misdemeanor counts alleging only that they illegally entered the building.
In Andrulonis’ case, investigators were able to piece together his movements from that day based on photographic evidence — from his 5 a.m. departure from 30th Street Station, wearing a red “Make America Great Again” beanie, to the moment he entered the Capitol through a smashed window near the Senate Wing door more than nine hours later, charging documents in the case say.
Surveillance footage shows him milling about several areas of the Capitol, including the Supreme Court chamber stairs and the Rotunda, snapping video and photos on his phone. A man he appears to have traveled with — who is not identified in the charging documents — can be seen knocking over barriers as they pass by, prosecutors said.
Eventually, the duo split up and Andrulonis entered the office of a senator who is not named in court documents and spent several minutes carousing with a crowd of rioters who had gathered inside before eventually leaving through the lobby of the Capitol crypt, according to the government filings. Andrulonis did not respond to requests for comment Monday. It was not immediately clear from court records whether he had retained an attorney.
