Charges against a Clarkstown man accused of participating in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th are being dropped. The Journal News says the U.S. Attorney’s Office is dismissing the criminal case against 44 year-old Christopher Kelly, who had been arrested on January 20th in New City. No additional information was immediately available on why the charges were being dropped. Kelly’s lawyer told the Journal News Kelly never entered the Capitol on January 6th and he hopes he “can go back to work and start to rebuild his life.”
