A 21-year-old Plover man is the latest Wisconsin resident to face federal charges for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Conlin Weyer was arrested Friday by federal agents. He is charged with disorderly conduct, entering a restricted building and parading in the Capitol.

Court documents include photographs of a man identified Weyer with a crowd of insurgents at the doors to the Capitol, and then inside the building. One photograph shows the man identified as Weyer inside the Capitol Rotunda.

At least seven other Wisconsin residents have been charged in the January Six insurrection. More than 800 people have been charged overall.

Weyer appeared in federal court in Madison Friday. He is scheduled to have his initial appearance on the charges in Washington, D.C. in June.
