A judge has ordered a Maine man held without bail while awaiting trial for his role in the breaching of the U.S. Capitol.

A U.S. magistrate judge told Kyle Fitzsimons during a video hearing Wednesday that he was “a bomb waiting to go off” and that the bomb “did go off” on Jan. 6.

Fitzsimons, of Lebanon, faces charges including causing injury to two police officers outside the Capitol. Fitzsimons is the only Mainer to be charged in connection with the riot that erupted as the electoral votes were being counted in the Senate.
