(WPXI) – A Bentleyville man already charged in connection with the riots at the U.S. Capitol in January has now been indicted by a federal grand jury for attacking an officer and stealing documents during the attack. Dale Shalvey, 36, who owns a woodworking business, was indicted on April 30, according to federal documents made available this week. Shalvey, who was originally arrested on March 9, was initially charged with obstructing an official proceeding, entering a restricted building, disrupting business, entering the Senate floor without permission and causing a disruption in the U.S. Capitol building. He’s accused of rifling through Electoral College vote certification paperwork from a desk on the Senate floor, and now faces additional charges of having “physical contact” with a police officer and stealing a letter from Sen. Mitt Romney to former Vice President Mike Pence.
