Glens Falls man charged in U.S. Capitol intrusion arraigned on Wednesday

GLENS FALLS — The Glens Falls man accused of illegally being in the U.S. Capitol after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the building was arraigned on two federal charges on Wednesday.

James Bonet, 29, was arrested on charges of knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to paperwork filed in U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia.

Bonet appeared virtually before U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel Stewart for a hearing in the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Rosenthal outlined the maximum potential punishment that Bonet could face.

On the charges of unlawfully entering the building, he could face up to a year in prison, a $100,000 fine and one year of probation. The disorderly conduct charge carries a potential sentence of 6 months in prison, a $5,000 fine and a year of probation.

Bonet is accused of entering the building illegally with a group of people who claimed there was fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He had posted a series of videos to his Facebook page of him entering the building on Jan. 6.

And, despite all the protests since the day she was first elected, she's only gotten worse - as demonstrated in her embarrassing national appearance alongside Gym Jordan during the last impeachment hearings. But the thing is, we were redistricted in 2015 and she replaced a long-time moderate Democrat (Bill Owens) who retired.

But you're right, there are certainly many more like this creep in my neck-of-the-woods. BTW, this made the front page of today's local paper.
