Federal authorities have charged three additional Illinois men for wrongly entering the U.S. Capitol during the breach Jan. 6, 2021, that interrupted the Electoral College vote count.
But unlike in many cases, where the feds say someone tipped them off to a person’s presence there, a charging document made public Wednesday said the feds tracked down the men after identifying their mobile devices as being present that day.
Anthony Carollo and Cody Vollan live in Lockport, and Jeremiah Carollo lives in Glen Carbon, federal court records show. The charges are misdemeanors, and they bring the number of known Illinois residents charged in the breach to 23. Nationwide, more than 725 people have been arrested in what the feds have called likely the largest criminal investigation and prosecution in U.S. history.
