CARTHAGE, Texas (KTBS) — An East Texas man held on federal charges related to participating in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot has asked for pretrial release and claims he “did not act out of criminal intent but out of sense of duty,” according to court documents. Alex Kirk Harkrider, 34, of Carthage, is in federal custody awaiting trial and is one of two East Texans indicted on charges related to the riots. A request to revoke the detention order and modify the bond conditions was filed Thursday by Harkrider’s attorney Kira Anne West out of Washington, D.C. “Defendant through counsel, respectfully requests that he be released on personal recognizance,” the motion said. “If that request is denied Defendant requests as an alternative that he be released on Third Party Custody and placed into the High Intensive Supervision Program of the Pretrial Services Agency conditioned on reasonable conditions.”
