DEADLINE: MONDAYS AT 5PM Oregon brothers accused of storming U.S. Capitol arrested Two Oregon brothers have been arrested on fed- eral charges of participating in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Matthew Leland Klein, 24, was arrested March 23 in Sherwood and his brother, 21-year-old Jon- athanpeter Allen Klein, was arrested the same day near Heppner, the FBI said. Both face charges in U.S. District Court in the Dis- trict of Columbia for their role in the Capitol breach. According to prosecutors, Jonathanpeter Klein is a self-identified member of the Proud Boys. The two brothers are charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of an official proceeding, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, destruction of government property, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly con- duct in a restricted building or grounds. The brothers are the first people in Oregon Matthew Klein (left) and Jonathanpeter Klein (right) were booked into Portland’s downtown jail last week, records show. to be charged in relation to the riots at the U.S. Capitol. The Klein family had been living in South Amer- ica, where the parents worked as missionaries in Argentina and Chile and returned to Oregon on Feb. 24, 2020. The brothers’ parents now live in Baker City. Jonathanpeter Klein worked as a roofer during the day and for Domino’s Pizza at night before he de- cided in mid- to late January of this year to get out of the Portland area. On Jan. 25, 2021, Jon- athanpeter went to work at the Ruggs Ranch, where he was being trained to serve as a guide by the owner. His lawyer said he can continue to work at Ruggs Ranch in Heppner, and the ranch owner John Flynn could serve as his third-party guardian if he is released. Firearms on the ranch would have to be locked up and the younger Klein would be working with cows, hay and irrigation if he were allowed to be released pending trial, his lawyer said. Nanci Klein, the brothers’ mother, wrote a letter to the court on her sons’ behalf and also of- fered to have them return to her home to live if the court preferred. A Smarter Way to Power Your Home.
