SANDWICH SHOP OWNER CLAIMS INNOCENCE, WANTS BOND

Defense attorneys for a Morgantown sandwich shop operator, accused in the January 6th riots in Washington, D.C. argue that he should be released from jail while awaiting trial. Lawyers for George Tanios say he attended the rally to support then-President Trump but did not intend to harm any police officers or participate in a riot. A continuation of the hearing has been set for May 6th; defense attorneys ran out of time in presenting their case, because the court system is processing hundreds of cases related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.
