Five people have now pleaded guilty to involvement in the tumultuous events in Washington on Jan. 6 after a Tennessee man admitted to disorderly conduct inside the U.S. Capitol that day.
According to an affidavit from an FBI agent, Ivey entered the Capitol through a broken window and attempted to help others enter the building.
Once inside, Ivey was seen using a cellphone to record people milling around the Capitol Rotunda, according to the complaint.
Ivey had also been hit with three other charges, including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. Before the plea agreement, he had been facing three years in prison.
Ivey will be sentenced on Sept. 28.
Four others previously pleaded guilty to being involved in the Capitol breach, including two to the same charge as Ivey.
Jessica and Joshua Bustle, a married Virginia couple, this month pleaded guilty to the charge. They each face up to six months in jail and fines of up to $6,000.
Two others face stiffer penalties.
Schaffer, described in the plea agreement as “a founding lifetime member” of the Oath Keepers, a group largely comprised of former and current law enforcement officers, faces up to 30 years in prison, fines of up to $500,000, supervised release of up to six years, and fees. A sentencing date isn’t listed on the court docket.
Patrick Leduc, one of his lawyers, told The Epoch Times that Hodgkins’s plea “is a recognition that he made a mistake.”
Hodgkins, a resident of Florida, is scheduled to be sentenced on July 19.
Meanwhile, Anna Morgan-Lloyd became the first individual to be sentenced in connection with the Capitol breach and won’t spend any time in jail. She pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building in exchange for three years of probation, $500 in restitution, and 40 hours of community service, court records show.
Nearly 500 people have been charged for offenses related to the breach.
