The Republican candidate for Michigan governor was arrested on misdemeanor charges resulting from his alleged role in the Jan 6 Capitol insurrection.
US Attorney’s Office spokesperson Ben Miller said, “Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested this morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan 6, 2021 Capitol breach.”
