A Fleetwood PA man could face more than three years in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Alan Byerly, 55, entered a guilty plea today in federal court to two charges: assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and assault by striking, beating and wounding.
The attorney for the U.S. government once again presented evidence they said they could prove in court if the case had gone to trial.
Byerly did take some issue with the details regarding the incident with a taser-like device.
"The part about pointing at the officers, I actually held it upwards," he said. "I did not point it at 'em."
When asked by the judge, Byerly said he was high school educated and had not previously received any mental health treatment.
He initially pleaded not guilty in November after he was charged in September with multiple offenses, including assault.
Authorities say Byerly, who was seen wearing a Kutztown beanie hat and carrying a Taser-like device, assaulted police officers and a news photographer amid the chaos on Capitol Hill.
According to the judge at the hearing, Byerly could face more than three years behind bars and be forced to pay thousands in restitution.

I’m sure the DOJ was his best new buddy until he found out they are allowed to lie to you. Encouraged to actually.

It is not clear if he actually “assaulted” them in the ordinary understanding of that term. Is displaying a taser, now “assault”? Or did he actually strike them?
I am sick of hearing these POS’s saying jan 6 riot. Show me anything that shows that was a riot. Compare it to blm or antifa “protests”. A blind man can see it was a set up by capitol police and lots of others!
Assault, as defined by the law, is a reasonable concern of physical harm. There doesn’t actually have to be any harm for one to be charged.
Somebody who uses intimidation tactics, like entering your physical space can be charged with assault, even if he actually doesn’t touch you.
Should have just burned a town down.

Striking, beating, wounding...rather different from the majority arrested.
