Three York County cousins ​​arrested after FBI investigation into Jan. 6 riot

WASHINGTON, DC, USA — Federal authorities arrested three cousins ​​in York on May 30 for their alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Investigators charged Tyler Henson, Stephen Oseen and Jamie Charlesworth, seen in U.S. Capitol surveillance footage, with entering or remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct and picketing a Capitol building.

It's been more than three years since rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol, disrupting the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory.

Federal investigators continue to file charges against people who may have been involved, a fact that does not surprise former federal judge John E. Jones.

“This is a typical FBI investigation,” said Jones, now president of Dickinson College in Carlisle. “Every inch of the Capitol grounds is visible to the camera. So they're enhancing these videos, looking at people. There are protesters obviously talking about people who were there while they're pleading guilty or cooperating with the government.”

Weeks after the Capitol riot, court documents show investigators received tips about a video posted to Henson's Facebook page showing him in a large crowd near the Capitol entrance.

Authorities say Henson was also seen in body camera footage outside the Capitol before security footage showed him entering the building through a window near the Senate wing doors.

In an August 2021 interview, Henson allegedly admitted to investigators that he traveled to Washington, D.C. on January 6 with his cousins ​​Oseen and Charlesworth.

Charlesworth would have entered through the doors of the Senate wing. Oseen is accused of entering through the nearby window.

Charlesworth was also spotted on surveillance footage from inside the Capitol crypt, according to investigators.

The three men left the building separately and were all out by the time Capitol Police reinforcements arrived less than an hour later.

They are not accused of dealing with the police.

Jones said they would have their day in court.

“The idea that the federal government is looking to go after people who broke doors and windows and invaded the Capitol and were intruders and worse, and people died as a result of that riot, It amazes me. It’s just absurd,” he said. “These defendants are afforded due process and all the rights the Constitution affords them.”

Jones said they likely won't be the last to face charges.

“They could potentially find you even if you haven’t been charged yet,” he said. “I think the investigations will clearly continue.”

The three men were released under surveillance after their arrest.

All are scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Washington, DC.
