Virginia Senator Tim Kaine's son, Linwood Michael Kaine, was arrested during a "March 4 Trump" rally in Minnesota on suspicion of felony second-degree riot, according to a Ramsey County Sheriff's Department arrest log.
Linwood Kaine, 24, who also goes by "Woody," was among five people taken into custody in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday.
Ramsey County Sheriff's Office confirmed to NBC News that Linwood Kaine was released from its custody on Monday morning. According to the Pioneer Press, no charges have been filed against Linwood Kaine, or the others who were arrested, but the situation is being investigated.
Kaine was among "five or six people all dressed in black clothing from head to toe" who entered the State Capitol and set off fireworks and smoke bombs, according to a St. Paul Police Department incident report.
Police then spotted the suspects in a park near the building, and the group fled in different directions, St. Paul Police Department spokesman Steve Linders told NBC News.
Linders said officers ordered Kaine to the ground but he refused and a chemical irritant was used. Kaine continued to resist officers, Linders said, and an officer used a knee strike to subdue him before taking him into custody.
