NC Marine, 2 others were on active duty when they broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, FBI says

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune has become the latest North Carolina resident charged in connection with the riot at the U.S. Capitol — and the first to be on active military duty at the time he committed his alleged crime.

Newly unsealed documents filed in the federal courts of Washington, D.C., show that Sgt. Dodge Dale Hellonen was arrested Wednesday at Camp Lejeune on the misdemeanor charge of unlawful entry into the Capitol. He made his initial federal court appearance in Wilmington.

Two other Marines who were Hellonen’s companions on Jan. 6, 2021, when an angry mob stormed the building to stop congressional certification of former President Donald Trump’s defeat to Joe Biden, also have been charged with unlawful entry in the case, records show.
