The Miami Herald reports:
A Florida man, described as an “adult film actor” and a Proud Boy, is heading to federal prison. Steven Miles, 40, pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Miles and more than 2,000 other rioters stormed the Capitol to disrupt the Electoral College’s vote count and overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Miles lives in Zephyrhills, a city half-an-hour northwest of Tampa. He traveled to Washington, D.C. for the Jan. 6 rally but left before any speeches began, instead opting to rendezvous with other Proud Boys and play “a leading role in the riot,” according to court records.
From the Justice Department:
According to court documents and the plea agreement, Miles, a member of the Proud Boys and adult film actor, traveled from his home near Tampa to Washington, D.C., to attend the January 6 rally at the Ellipse.
He and other members of the Proud Boys left the rally site long before the speeches began, walked to the West Front of the Capitol, and played a leading role in the riot.
Wearing a desert-camouflaged jacket and jungle camo pants, Miles, along with his co-defendant Matthew Lebrun, 33, of New Orleans, breached the restricted perimeter and were not deterred by barricades, signs, and lines of police officers in riot gear.
Miles confronted U.S. Capitol Police officers, shoving and attempting to punch an officer as LeBrun cheered him on. In addition to attempting to assault the officer, Miles made additional physical contact with law enforcement officers, seeking to obstruct, impede, and interfere with their efforts to hold back the rioters.
At about 2:10 p.m., Miles and LeBrun ascended the staircase to the Upper West Terrace. At 2:13 p.m., Miles used a wooden plank to help smash a window of the Senate Wing Door and then entered the Capitol through the broken window with LeBrun following behind him.
A cascade of other rioters then took advantage of the smashed window to enter the Capitol as well; the sheer number of rioters outside and inside the building overwhelmed law enforcement officers.
After a three-minute walk through the Capitol Building, Miles and LeBrun exited through the Senate Carriage Door. U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb scheduled sentencing for Feb. 9, 2024.
Hey @HouseGOP and @GOP – this is your guy. How many more Republicans are going to plead guilty for acts of insurrection? Now’s the time to denounce those who said the election was stolen like @Jim_Jordan & @RepMattGaetz. America has enough of the lies.https://t.co/YOIouzpC4J
