A Tennessee man on Tuesday became the fifth person to plead guilty for their involvement in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
According to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for D.C., Bryan Wayne Ivey agreed to plead guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing inside a Capitol building, violating a federal law that forbids violent entry and disorderly conduct.
As part of the agreement, Ivey agreed to pay $500 in restitution for the nearly $1.5 million in damages that were caused by the riot. The other three charges against him were dropped.
Ivey was arrested in Cookeville, Tenn., on March 4 on additional charges of knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority, disorderly conduct on restricted grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
He faces up to six months in prison as well as a fine of up to $5,000.
According to prosecutors, Ivey traveled to D.C. on Jan. 6 to attend the "Stop the Steal" rally that took place before rioters broke into the Capitol. He did not initially attend the protest as it was apparently too crowded.
However, after the police barricades were broken through, Ivey walked towards the Senate Wing Door of the Capitol and observed a rioter breaking a window with a riot shield. According to prosecutors, Ivey walked through the window, knowing that he was not permitted to enter, and waved other rioters to enter.
Ivey spent about 35 minutes inside the Capitol, mostly inside the Rotunda. He recorded multiple videos once inside, though prosecutors stated that he deleted all videos and photos from inside and outside the Capitol that he had taken on Jan. 6 on his cell phone.
$500 and 3 other charges dropped. Prosecutors were desperate for something, anything.

Holy crap — that’s insanely egregious. /s
I thought capital police or perhaps fake officers were coaxing and ushering in the crowd. We are not getting the real story.
Plus 5k and 6 months prison.
Is it a felony or a misdemeanor on his record?
Only 5 have caved in? How many political prisoners still remain in the DC Gulag?
Only gay people and liberals are allowed to do this.
There’s about 80 according to Pete Santilli who said he was in contact with families of defendants...
Deadly? Who died besides Ashley Babbit?
“He faces up to six months in prison as well as a fine of up to $5,000.”
well one is enough right? If you have one fight at a “peaceful” rally then by definition it is no longer “peaceful”
Boy, thry’re certainly going easy on these “insurrectionists” who “murdered” a capitol police officer. < /sarc>
I'd like to see the numbers on that... not that Nancy and her democrat/commie thugs would inflate the numbers or anything...

Where is the "violent entry"?
Lots of counter suits if the truth ever comes out. This reminds me of the 2 that just pleaded guilty because rioters were gonna come on their property and kill him and his wife and rape her and sleep in their beds. Came out with guns to protect themselves and got arrested. Had to give up the guns and plead guilty to a misdemeanor to keep there lawyer status. Wth is wrong with these politicians.
Odd that they did not pursue obstruction of Justice here. Seeing as how they are withholding videos from that day I'd be surprised if they didn't make him erase those videos as part of the plea deal.
Very true. Their end plan is to through hook or crook, tie this to President Trump and prosecute him. Believe it or not. And the true story will never be told.
Does anyone have an idea as to the damages caused by the George Floyd riots? Has anyone had to pay for this?
