A former West Virginia lawmaker pleaded not guilty Wednesday to four charges in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Court records initially said Derrick Evans was charged after a video posted to his Facebook page showed him joining and encouraging a crowd unlawfully entering the Capitol. In January, Evans resigned from the West Virginia House of Delegates, where he had been serving as a representative for Wayne County.
Evans’ next scheduled court proceeding is set for 2 p.m. June 25.
