Two Virginia Police officers charged in connection with Capitol riots appear in federal court
Prosecutors sought to have their travel restricted and asked the judge to order them to give up their firearms
Two Virginia police officers accused of making off-duty appearances at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 were ordered to give up their firearms by a federal judge Tuesday.
Officer Jacob Fracker and Sgt. Thomas Robertson, of Rocky Mount, Va., are both accused of trespassing at the Capitol and taking part in the riot. Their department placed each of them on administrative leave.
Government prosecutors did not seek to detain either of the men but did ask that their travel be restricted and that they not be allowed to possess any firearms during a virtual hearing. The judge agreed and restricted both men from possessing firearms or traveling outside of Virginia.
