A U.S. attorney has formally charged a Belgrade business owner and former U.S. Marine with four federal crimes stemming from his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Andrew Cavanaugh, who owns Tactical Citizen firearm school in Belgrade and wore a hat with his business name on it while at the Capitol, is charged with the federal crimes of entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
If convicted, Cavanaugh could face up to six months in prison for each of the first two charges and up to one year in prison for each of the second two charges, along with the potential for fines and court fees.
