Josh Pruitt, a member of the Proud Boys who then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his team ran from during the US Capitol riot, pleaded guilty Friday to a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding on January 6, 2021.
According to his plea agreement, Pruitt and another rioter entered the Capitol Visitor's Center after breaching the building. At that time, Schumer and his security detail, fleeing the Senate chamber, waited at nearby elevators in an attempt to reach a secure location."As they waited, a member of Senator Schumer's security detail saw Pruitt and one other man approaching," the plea agreement says. The New York Democrat"ran away," evading the two men.
Before his plea agreement, Pruitt had faced eight counts, including physical acts of violence and obstructing law enforcement. He could spend an estimated 51 to 63 months behind bars. Read MorePruitt told CNN in January that he didn't"feel like did anything wrong" that day but was concerned about potential consequences."Trying to send me to prison for a few years over this, I think, is a complete joke," Pruitt said, noting at the time that he had no plans to plead guilty.
