Federal judge places U.S. Capitol riot participant from Buford on home detention

A Buford man accused of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has been placed on home detention by a federal judge.

Verden Andrew Nalley, 49, was arrested last week on charges of obstruction of an official proceeding, violent entry or disorderly conduct and entering a restricted building or grounds. He was released on $10,000 bond on Friday.

Nalley was indicted along with Americus-area attorney William McCall Calhoun Jr., who faces the same charges.

“On or about Jan. 6, 2021, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the defendants, William McCall Calhoun Jr. and Verden Andrew Nalley, attempted to, and did, corruptly obstruct, influence, and impede an official proceeding, and did conspire to do so; that is, Calhoun and Nalley forcibly entered and remained in the Capitol to stop, delay, and hinder Congress’s certification of the Electoral College vote,” the indictment against Calhoun and Nalley states.
