WASHINGTON Oath Keeper and heavy metal guitarist Jon Schaffer entered a plea of guilty on two charges Friday, becoming the first person charged in the Capitol riot to plead in the case.
Schaffer pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding and entering and remaining in a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon – both felony counts that could carry up to 20 years in prison.
Schaffer was charged in January with six counts, including engaging in an act of physical violence in a Capitol building. He’s one of a number of rioters accused of assaulting police with bear spray on January 6.
