Ryan Kelley, GOP candidate for Michigan governor, arrested and charged over Jan. 6 riot involvement

Federal law enforcement took Kelley into custody Thursday and were reportedly searching his west Michigan home in Allendale, a spokesperson confirmed to FOX 2.

Charging documents unsealed Thursday showed Kelley was charged for his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection. He's expected to be in court later Thursday. Kelley also helped organize a pro-gun rally at the state capitol to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's pandemic orders. for the Republican race for governor, Kelley's arrest is sure to throw even more uncertainty into the election which has already seen its fair share of controversy surrounding its candidates.

Kelley managed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify for the race, something that five other candidates failed to do so last month. In unsealed court documents, a criminal complaint against Kelley that was signed June 7 charged him four counts, including unlawfully entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, engaging in physical violence against person or property, and willfully committing depredation against U.S. property.

A statement of facts from the FBI details several images of Kelley at the U.S. Capitol. In some examples, he is shown waving his hand and encouraging the crowd behind him to move toward the building.

Wow what a crazy man

Ryan Kelley is a great American.

Jan. 6 was mostly peaceful protesting.
