Arrested just before Valentine’s Day, two brothers from Pennsylvania, Matthew and Andrew Valentin, have been hit with a variety of criminal felony and misdemeanor charges in Washington, D.C., alleging that the brothers’ marauding at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 featured their grabbing at officers and their batons, throwing a folding chair at them and spraying them with chemical irritants.

Andrew Valentin, 26, and Matthew Valentin, 31, from Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, were arrested on Feb. 11 and Feb. 12, respectively, according to a statement from the Justice Department released Tuesday.

Both of the men were charged with entering and remaining in a restricted area, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, acts of physical violence in the Capitol or grounds, assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, and civil disorder.
