AVENTURA, Fla. – Julio Chang — a retired U.S. Marine and former Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy — was back home in Aventura on Wednesday. He said he doesn’t need the public to know his side of the story.
FBI Special Agents arrested Chang, who retired as a lieutenant in 2005, on Tuesday accusing him of participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
“I appreciate you coming to my house and visiting me, but I would rather remain silent and let my attorney handle the whole process,” Chang, 55, said.
Photographs and videos on Facebook and AT&T phone records are part of the evidence against Chang, according to FBI Special Agent Colin Gregory.
Surveillance video shows him just after 3 p.m. walking into the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, according to Gregory, records show.
Chang is facing four misdemeanor charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
