Duke Wilson, 67, of Nampa, Idaho, pleaded guilty in federal court in Washington to a charges of assaulting, resisting or impeding police and to obstructing an official proceeding.
WASHINGTON -An Idaho man accused of attacking police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot on Tuesday entered guilty pleas to two riot-related criminal charges.
Nearly 600 people have been arrested over the attack on the Capitol where Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden's November election victory over then-President Donald Trump. Earlier Trump had given a fiery speech falsely claiming his defeat was the result of fraud. The FBI said rioters appeared to spray irritating liquids at police while pushing on officers' shields. As officers tried to close a set of double doors, the FBI reported, Wilson grabbed and tried to pull the door open.
The FBI said the video then showed Wilson appearing to help other rioters pull a shield away from the officers, and then pushed two officers to the ground.
