PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia-based Amtrak employee who skipped work to attend former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., has been charged with participating in the U.S. Capitol riot.
Federal prosecutors say a coworker of Ronald Andrulonis, 37, of Northeast Philadelphia, quickly identified him from surveillance footage and a selfie he shot inside the building, posted to Instagram, and shared with other Amtrak workers.
Charging documents in his case, unsealed late last week, did not explain why, despite the swift identification, it took more than two years from receiving the first anonymous tip that identified Andrulonis by name for authorities to file charges against him.
