WASHINGTON — A man who allegedly attacked Democratic U.S. Rep. Angie Craig in an elevator earlier this year has been indicted by a grand jury and is facing three criminal charges.
Kendrid Khalil Hamlin, who was 26 when he was arrested in February, is charged with assaulting a member of Congress and two counts of assaulting law enforcement, according to the indictment filed Thursday. He has no permanent address.
Hamlin has a long criminal history, and the attack on Craig is not thought to have been politically motivated. Hamlin and his federal public defenders have asked that he be released from jail pending trial and sent to a facility for inpatient treatment.
