Alleged Capitol rioter asks judge to let him visit Peru to get married

[pppolitics]

(CNN) — A Kentucky man facing four criminal charges linked to the Capitol insurrection asked a federal judge on Tuesday to let him travel to Peru later this month to get married.

Troy Williams of Lexington, Kentucky, told a judge that his fiancé lives in Peru and they plan to get married in the South American country. The 25-year-old groom-to-be said he has a flight booked for February 23 and the trip would last about two weeks, according to court papers.

He is facing four misdemeanor charges related to the attack, including entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct and unlawful picketing. He hasn't had a chance to enter a plea.

The Justice Department didn't seek Williams' detention while he awaits trial, and a judge released him after his arrest. His request to visit Peru is in accordance with the conditions of his release, which say that he needs to secure judicial permission before any international travel.

Revoke his bail (which he shouldn't have to begin with, as all the rioters should be charged with treason and be facing the Federal Death Penalty.)

Misdemeanor... but he should be on the No-Fly List. She can travel to America more easily than he can travel to America, and maybe they can take their honeymoon trip to Mammoth Cave, the original Kentucky Fried Chicken, Churchill Downs, the Muhammad Ali site, horse-culture sites, the Creation Museum (ha! ha!) -- supposedly there's a good aquarium in Newport. Maybe with a little leeway they could visit Columbus, Indiana (great architecture!), Columbus, Ohio, Nashville, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
