(Mike Osborne) — Two more Tennessee residents have been arrested for their part in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in the U.S. Capitol.

Federal prosecutors say Dickson County residents Jerry and Mark Waynick have been charged with four counts each, including assault on Capitol Police Officers.

Authorities say they identified the father and son in dozens of social media post photos and surveillance video.

The two men allegedly participated in confrontations with police on the capitol steps and also breached the capitol building.

Thirteen months on, a total of 20 Tennessee residents have been charged in connection with the riot.
