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.

    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.

            You’re the one that called it “redneck shit”.

              And? Are you suggesting that all rednecks are poor or that all poor people are rednecks? Because, as an Indiana resident I can tell you that first one bullshit, and the general lack of black people at Monster Truck shows suggests that second one is also bullshit.

              Edit: looked up monster truck show tickets on Ticketmaster for a random show. Tickets range from $35-$75. It’s a funny kind of poor when you can afford a $75 ticket to a one-night event.
