Three-time Olympic swimmer Klete Keller has been indicted on seven charges related to the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol during the counting of electoral votes.
The charges in U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia include knowingly and unlawfully entering and remaining in a restricted area, interfering with official government business, engaging in disorderly conduct to disrupt a session of Congress and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder.
An FBI agent had written in a criminal complaint that he was able to identify Keller, who is 6-foot-6, in part because of his height. The agent also noted the Team USA jacket that Keller wore during the riot.
Keller, 39, won gold medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics in the 4x200m freestyle relay, plus a silver medal in 2000 and bronze medals in 2000 and 2004.
