Two-time Olympic gold medalist Klete Keller pleaded not guilty to seven charges on Tuesday for his alleged participation in the riots at the U.S. Capitol in January, according to USA Today.

Keller, 38, appeared in U.S. District Court in Washington virtually. He and his attorney declined to comment further, and he is next due to appear in court on April 6.

Keller indicted on 7 charges from riots
Keller was indicted on seven different charges from the Jan. 6 riots in Washington, including for knowingly and unlawfully entering and remaining in a restricted area, interfering with official government business, engaging in disorderly conduct to disrupt a session of Congress and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder.

He was recognized by an FBI agent due both to his height and the Team USA jacket that he was wearing at the Capitol. He also had several social media posts supporting former President Donald Trump before his accounts were disabled.

Keller turned himself into authorities in Colorado nine days after the riots, and was released without bond. He could face up to 15 years in prison.
