Olympic swimmer Klete Keller<\/strong> has turned himself into authorities, multiple news outlets have reported, after facing federal charges stemming from the U.S. Capitol insurrection.<\/p>\n

He faces up to five years in prison, and a $250,000 fine, for his felony charge, and up to one year and six months for the two misdemeanors, respectively, in addition to another quarter million fine attached to each. Keller’s court hearing also noted that he could face additional charges from a grand jury, according to CBS Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As previously reported<\/a>, an FBI agent wrote in a criminal complaint that he was able to identify the 6-foot-6 Keller, noting the Team USA jacket that Keller, a three-time Olympian, wore during the riot.<\/p>\n
