NBC News reports:
A man who wore a “Trump 2020” hat as he beat one officer and dragged another down the steps of the Capitol on Jan. 6 has pleaded guilty, admitting telling officers “you’re gonna die tonight” and repeatedly assaulting law enforcement. Jack Wade Whitton, 32, from Georgia, bragged in a message obtained by the government that he had “fed” a cop “to the people.”
Whitton admitted that he hit an officer with a crutch when the officer was on the ground, kicked another officer and then dragged the officer he’d hit with a crutch down the stairs in a prone position. Other rioters then beat the officer with a flagpole and baton.
Whitten then returned to the police line about 20 minutes later, kicked at officers, kicked a riot shield held by an officer, and yelled “you’re gonna die tonight,” he acknowledged in his plea.

Whitton was an early target of the “Sedition Hunters” community that came together online to identify Capitol rioters after Jan. 6. Prosecutors referenced the role that “unknown Twitter users” played in tracking his movements using the hashtag #Scallops. https://t.co/Mmcpe6Bbwf
