The Washington Post reports:
Christopher Worrell, 52, of Naples, Fla., was found guilty after a five-day bench trial on all seven counts, including felony charges of obstructing Congress’s confirmation of the 2020 presidential election results and assaulting police with a deadly or dangerous weapon by spraying three officers with pepper gel.
Worrell interacted with former Proud Boys chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio and knew by name the group’s Jan. 6 march co-leader, Ethan Nordean.
Prosecutors produced images recorded from multiple angles showing that Worrell sprayed in the direction of police and that three officers reacted to being hit at the same time and place. They also cited supporting witness testimony, as well as Worrell’s shifting and conflicting statements from the stand and to the FBI.

Worrell last appeared here in October 2021 when a judge responded to his complaints about his cell by saying, “It’s a jail, not a hotel.”
As you see in the video below, Newsmax host Greg Kelly took a jailhouse call from Worrell to promote his “political prisoner” money beg on the Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo, which has raised $62,624 at this writing.

In J6 case, judge calls claims by PBoy insurrectionist Christopher Worrell “completely incredible” & a “false narrative”: “The defense’s preposterous contention is that Mr. Worrell sprayed the pepper gel at Antifa, or some other members of the crowd.”https://t.co/fZcGY6hkIF pic.twitter.com/Aeox2oI9Ih
