A married couple from Massapequa has been arrested for alleged involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol.
Kevin, 61, and Carol Moore, 57, of Massapequa, were arrested Wednesday afternoon by the FBI in connection to the insurrection – where supporters of former President Donald Trump attempted to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election and were even able to get into the Capitol building.
Five people died as a result of the insurrection, and up to four Capitol police officers committed suicide afterwards.
Both Kevin and Carol More appeared in court Thursday afternoon.They are charged with misdemeanor trespassing and disorderly conduct, and are currently released on their own recognizance.
Kevin Moore has worked for the MTA as a structure maintainer for 25 years. The MTA confirmed to the Press he took an approved absence on Jan. 6, 2021, and has been out on requested leave since April of this year. The statement of facts provided to the judge by the investigating FBI agent indicates Moore did not work from Jan. 1 through 7 of 2021.
Kevin Moore is represented by John Carman, while Carol is represented by Susan Carman.
According to the prosecution team, the pair could face charges in Washington, D.C. as well – but this specific trial will take place specifically in the Eastern District of New York. Neither of the Moores are allowed to leave the continental United States, with Judge Arlene Lindsay declaring they are to stay within the Massapequa area and are subject to unannounced searches by authorities at any time. Kevin Moore mentioned they have a residence in Wading River, and Lindsay said they may go so long as they notify the supervising authorities.
After the court appearance, Kevin Moore was spotted by reporters sprinting out of the side entrance and, presumably, running to a car around the back of the courthouse to avoid being seen by cameras.
The statement of facts also contains images of both Kevin and Carol Moore at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The pair can be seen waving pro-Trump flags both inside and outside of the Capitol building, and the document claims Kevin Moore yelled at a Capitol police officer, but neither are seen attacking anyone or destroying Capitol property.
The Moores’s arrests bring the total number of Long Islanders allegedly involved in the attack to 10.
