A federal law enforcement officer who was taken into custody at the rally in Washington over the weekend will not be charged even though U.S. Capitol Police officers said he was illegally carrying a gun on Capitol grounds.

Anthony Belli, 27, of Toms River, New Jersey, was seen being arrested at the rally, which was held to protest how some accused of wrongdoing in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach are still being held in prison.
