Federal prosecutors have charged two St. Clair County residents for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol.
Deborah Kuecken, 67, of Ira Township and Gary Smith, 71, of Casco Township bring the total to 19 people from Michigan who have been charged in connection with the riot, according to a database created by George Washington University's Program on Extremism. That includes former Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley.
Nationally, at least 886 people have been charged with crimes. On Jan. 6, 2021, supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the building on the day electoral votes were officially being tallied.
