NBC News reports:
Proud Boys member and former D.C. bartender who was caught on video joining a mob pursuing police officers and smashing a sign inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, pleaded guilty Friday to a felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding.
Joshua Pruitt, 40, appeared from jail for a virtual hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly, where he admitted that he joined the mob that stormed the Capitol.
Pruitt had been indicted on eight counts, including civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, and destruction of government property. Under a plea deal with the government, the other seven charges will be dropped after Pruitt is sentenced. His recommended sentencing guidelines range is 51-63 months in federal prison.
Read the full article. Pruitt last appeared on JMG in January when he sobbed in court after being ordered back to jail for violating his release conditions.
