Nicholas Hendrix, 34, of Gorham, faces four misdemeanor charges. He pleaded not guilty during a videoconference appearance on Monday, the Portland Press Herald reported.

Charges against Hendrix include unlawfully entering the Capitol; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted government building; violent entry and disorderly conduct in the Capitol building; and illegal parading or demonstrating in the Capitol building, the Press Herald reported.
