An Oklahoma man has pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer during the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. The man, 44, disappeared for several months after missing court appearances in Washington, D.C., last year. He was re-arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on May 13 and remained jailed until his guilty plea.
The man is scheduled to be sentenced on September 20. The estimated sentencing guidelines recommend a prison term ranging from 30 to 37 months, but the judge is not bound by that recommendation. His defense attorney stated that the man and his family are eager to move past this incident.
