(CNN) An alleged Capitol rioter who asked a judge to let him get married in Peru has withdrawn his request, according to new court filings.
The defendant, Troy Williams, reversed course after the Justice Department said it opposed his travel and called him a "flight risk."
Williams, from Kentucky, faces four criminal charges linked to the Capitol insurrection. He had asked a federal judge last week to let him travel to Peru later this month to get married. He previously told the court that his fiancé lives in Peru and they plan to get married in the South American country. The 25-year-old groom-to-be said he had a flight booked for February 23 and the trip would last about two weeks, according to court papers.
But federal prosecutors said Williams poses a "very real" flight risk and that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is telling Americans to avoid Peru anyway because of Covid-19.
