Related: About this forumFormer Hershey PA basketball coach charged in U.S. Capitol riot
(link) https://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2021/02/17/Former-Hershey-Christian-Academy-basketball-coach-charged-U-S-Capitol-riot-bozell/stories/202102170103
A Hershey resident who used to coach at Hershey Christian Academy has been charged in connection with the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, according to newly unsealed documents.
Leo Brent Bozell IV, 41, is charged with illegally entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct and impeding an official session of Congress, according to the federal affidavit. Footage from the riot shows Bozell inside the Capitol, including the U.S. Senate floor, according to an affidavit written by Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent Lynda W. Thomas.
The charging documents show the process of Bozell being identified, which included the online conversation about him, as he was wearing a Hershey Christian Academy sweatshirt during the riot.
Back in January, the Hummelstown-based academy released a statement after these social media postings indicated that Bozell might be associated with the school:
Hershey Christian Academy, as an organization, does not engage in political activities, and has no political views of its own, nor does Hershey Christian Academy express any opinions on the political beliefs of others, officials said on Jan. 15. Hershey Christian Academy is available to any and all law enforcement authorities that are investigating this matter, and they will have our full cooperation.
The school also said that he was not a board member, employee or representative of the academy. Now, court records show that Bozell was a coach with the school until March 2020.

"His father, Leo Brent Bozell III, is the founder and president of the nonprofit Media Research Center, which describes its mission as working "to expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left: the national news media." The organization runs the NewsBusters website, which frequently accuses mainstream media organizations including NPR of liberal bias. "
