An Illinois man accused of firing a gun into the air during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol will remain in custody pending trial after prosecutors detailed the ex-con and two-time domestic violence fugitive’s criminal history that included fatally stabbing someone in a case of self-defense.

John Banuelos, 39, faces felony charges of trespassing with a deadly or dangerous weapon, carrying and discharging a firearm and civil disorder. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. At Banuelos’ detention hearing in Illinois on Wednesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Beth W. Jantz granted prosecutors’ request and ordered him detained until his first scheduled appearance before a federal judge in Washington, D.C., court filings show.

According to NBC News, Jantz called Banuelos’ actions reckless and serious. He reportedly has an appearance scheduled in Washington, D.C., on March 21.
