Strong faces three charges: violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, entering or remaining in a restricted area, and being disorderly or disruptive in a restricted area. Strong works for the FAA in San Bernardino, and the FBI began investigating him on Dec. 30, a week before a violent mob stormed the Capitol. Strong told agents that he was inside the Capitol and provided them with photographs and videos he took while inside. Strong is among more than 100 people who have been charged with crimes involving the riot, which left five people dead including a Capitol police officer.
