Rishell allegedly intended to intimidate the lawmaker while they were carrying out their official duties, Acting U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus said in the release.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Capitol Police and the U.S. Secret Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney K. Wesley Mishoe is prosecuting the case.
If convicted, Rishell faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, supervised release, fines, and a special assessment.
