Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, was charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack after he was identified by online sleuths.

An elected member of a Virginia school board — who allegedly bragged about drinking Fireball and Coors Light in the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack and said he was in touch with a member of the far-right Oath Keepers that day — was arrested by federal authorities Tuesday.

Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, faces four misdemeanor charges: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and unlawful picketing in a Capitol building. Court records show that Adkins was scheduled to make his first appearance in a federal courtroom in Charlottesville on Tuesday.

    Look, fuck this guy for probably being a fascist or whatever. But I’m not going to pretend hitting some fireball and slamming a cold one inside of the capital isn’t rad as hell.

      Idk man, I’d definitely choose something other than fireball and coors.

        I’ll give you the Coors because that shit sucks, and I don’t even like fireball but if there’s ever a time for it, its while illegally occupying a federal building.

          If you’re gonna LARP being a revolutionary (even a fascist one), at least do it right. Get yourself some nice wine, brandy, or whiskey.

          Y’all want to drink 40 proof Canadian whiskey mixed with sugar and cinnamon when storming the US capitol?

          At least do the nation the honor of drinking something 80 proof from Kentucky for fucks sake.

          Just a bit of national pride is all we ask for.

            I mean, the only country to successfully capture the Capitol was Canada.

              See, if he was drinking the northern blend because he knew his history, I would tip my macaroni to him.

              Somehow i doubt it.

          The time for fireball is with ciders at a camp fire. Storming the capital calls for whisky.

        Monster trucks are also redneck shit, that doesn’t make them not rad as hell.

            It absolutely is, it must suck to have an innate aversion to fun.

              Amazingly enough, there are many ways of having fun that do not involve looking at trucks or drinking shitty beer.

                  Sorry… shitty beer and monster trucks are “things poor people like?”

                  That sounds like a crazy and weird stereotype.

      It wasn’t cold, it was in his tactical khaki cargo pockets the whole way there.

      And as we all know, A ONE THAT IS NOT COLD IS SCARCELY A ONE AT ALL.

        People are taking this way too seriously. It was also rad when Jimmy Carter’s son smoked weed with Willie Nelson at the whitehouse.
