Retired Air Force Officer Guilty in Capitol Riot Case

Wednesday, November 16, 2022

A judge on Wednesday found a Texas man guilty on six charges for entering the Capitol and the Senate chamber during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, in tactical gear. Prosecutors said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Larry Brock, 55, spent 37 minutes inside the building, at times rifling through paperwork on senators' desks and at one point picking up a discarded pair of plastic flex-cuffs. Brock was arrested four days after the riot.

The Justice Department indicated in a statement that Brock will be sentenced on Feb. 14, 2023. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and financial penalties.
