Tristan Sartor, 26, of South Huntingdon Township, who was reportedly in the Capitol for 1 minute and 15 seconds, is not accused of committing any physical acts of violence.

A criminal complaint says investigators used his clothing to link him to the attack. Sartor was wearing a gold pin on his pocket, gray and brown boots and dark brown sunglasses.

Federal charges were filed against Sartor this week.

He is charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol building.

Sartor’s case will be prosecuted in Washington, D.C.
