(5-2-24) On May 1st a hearing in the District Court of the District of Columbia, new counsel was assigned for Shawndale and Donald Chilcoat, both of Celina, charged in connection with the January 6th, 2021 incident at the US Capitol.

New charges have been filed when an indictment was handed down earlier this month against the couple, charging both of them with obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; entering and remaining of the floor of Congress; disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and in any of the Capitol buildings; and failure to appear.

Due to the change in counsel, the Chilcoats scheduled for trial has been moved to October 4th. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for May 9th.
