My issue is why did the two duty pilots allow anyone into the cockpit?

He was an off duty company pilot, and company policy allows them to ride in the jump seat if it is available, which in this case it was. He was traveling to the San Francisco area to join a crew for a flight. He is still awaiting federal charges last I heard, and these are only state charges right now.
Edit to add: It was reported today that once they got him in the back of the plane, he tried to open the emergency door and had to be handcuffed to stop further attempts to disrupt the flight.
