"School Board Member Boasted About Drinking Alcohol in Capitol on Jan. 6, According to FBI"

Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, was arrested by federal authorities for his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He faces misdemeanor charges for entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct, disorderly conduct, and unlawful picketing. Adkins allegedly bragged about drinking alcohol in the Capitol and admitted to being in touch with a member of the far-right Oath Keepers on that day. Video evidence shows him aiding another rioter and engaging in disruptive behavior. This arrest comes after Adkins had previously faced calls for resignation due to a DUI charge and had been identified as a Jan. 6 rioter by online "sedition hunters."
