Thomas Adams is alleged to have trampled over police barricades, according to an article by Insider.
Adams used his cell phone to record himself and a friend inside the Capitol. He was concerned when a police officer ripped his friend’s glasses off in an attempt to mace him. Adams attempted to find the glasses on the floor as people were being forced out of the side doors.
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
