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.

    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.
