(GEORGIA NEWS NETWORK) – A Milton man is the latest Georgia resident to face charges connected to the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot. The FBI arrested Cylester Maxwell last week for assaulting an officer, obstruction and several misdemeanors. The 42-year-old allegedly pulled down a police barricade on January 6. There have been more than 30 arrests of people with Georgia ties who have faced Capitol riot charges.
*A number of people are facing charges for breaking into and living in a dead man’s Cobb County home. Investigators told Channel Two that they found a 71-year-old man’s body inside the only bathroom in the home during a welfare check. They also discovered that seven people had broken into the house and been living there after the man died, while his credit cards had also been stolen. All of the alleged “squatters” have been tracked down, according to police.
