NEW: Former Olympian Klete Keller had his first court appearance today.

He is charged with obstructing law enforcement, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry/disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
During the hearing, the judge advised Keller he could face up to 5 years in prison for the 3rd charge - violent entry/disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Keller was allegedly recorded on video during the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol building.
Keller, who was released on a personal recognizance bond after promising the judge he would appear at all future court dates, will be able to visit his children in North Carolina but was advised not to travel after that.

The former Olympian also had to surrender his passport.
