A federal magistrate judge on Friday ordered a Colorado man who is accused of using bear spray or mace on police officers in the deadly U.S. Capitol riot be sent to Washington to face charges there.

During a virtual court hearing in Denver federal court, Robert Gieswein, 24, of Woodland Park waived his right to have a hearing to determine that he is the person indicted on six counts, three for allegedly assaulting police, in the nation’s Capitol, ending proceedings in Colorado.

While others arrested in Colorado for allegedly participating in the Jan. 6 riot have been released from custody, Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak ruled last week that Gieswein should be held because he posed a risk to the public since he went to the Capitol “prepared for battle”, equipped with a baseball bat, a reinforced vest and an Army helmet.

Prosecutors and investigators allege he is affiliated with the Three Percenters, which they describe as a radical militia group. However, according to the Anti-Defamation League, some Three Percenters are not involved in militia groups and form non-paramilitary groups or act independently.

Gieswein’s public defender, Matthew Belcher, has said there is no evidence he was actively participating in paramilitary anti-government activity.
