The adult son of a Chicago-area woman on probation for her role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was charged this week with also taking part in the 2021 attack.

Nicholas Von Keudell, of Chicago, was charged in U.S. District Court with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.

Trudy Castle, Von Keudell’s mother, helped federal investigators nab her son, according to the criminal complaint.

“Trudy Castle was interviewed by FBI,” according to the complaint. “During the interview, Castle acknowledged that Von Keudell, who is her adult son, traveled to the Capitol on Jan. 5, 2021, with Castle and [her sister, Kimberly] DiFrancesco.”
