Man Who Stormed U.S. Capitol in 'CNN Fake News' Cap Pleads Guilty to Assaulting Police on Jan. 6
An Idaho man who stormed the U.S. Capitol in a baseball cap with the words CNN and Fake News pleaded guilty on Tuesday to assaulting police and obstruction of an official proceeding, landing prosecutors convictions on some of their most serious charges related to Jan. 6.
Duke Edward Wilson, a 67-year-old from Nampa, could now face up to 20 years imprisonment as a result of his guilty pleas, but his actual sentence is likely to be much lower. The terms of his plea agreement calculate his sentencing guidelines range at between 41 and 51 months of incarceration, but a federal judge can go above or below that.
Prosecutors say that Wilson jabbed police officers with a long, white, cylindrical PVC pole and tossed it at them.
Wilsons signed statement of offense acknowledges that he struck one officer, who is identified in court papers only as A.G.
