Lisa Eisenhart is accused of breaking into the Capitol with her son, Eric Munchel, who was photographed carrying flexible plastic handcuffs in the Senate chamber.

A federal judge has authorized the release of a Georgia woman and her Tennessee son on charges for their involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. 

Lisa Eisenhart is accused of breaking into the Capitol with her son, Eric Munchel, who was photographed carrying flexible plastic handcuffs in the Senate chamber.

 A judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday, authorized the release of Eisenhart and Munchel to third-party custodians. 

They will be placed in home confinement along with other conditions. 

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the pair would present no safety risk if subjected to strict release conditions.
