Bozeman man pleads guilty to involvement in Capitol riot
A Bozeman man pleaded guilty this week to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, break-in and riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Andrew Cavanaugh, the owner of the now-defunct Tactical Citizen firearm academy in Belgrade and a former Marine, pleaded guilty this week to parading, demonstrating and picketing in the Capitol. The plea was first reported by KTVQ.
Cavanaugh was arrested by the FBI in Bozeman in March 2021 for his involvement in the Capitol riot. According to court documents, Cavanaugh wore a hat with the name of his business as he and hundreds of others broke into the Capitol building, where lawmakers were meeting to certify the electoral college votes for the 2020 presidential election. Then-Vice President Mike Pence was evacuated from the building, followed by senators and reporters who were there.
A video of Cavanaugh wearing the hat on the first floor of the U.S. Capitol in the Small House Rotunda was posted on the conservative social media site Parler. The hat and the video helped the FBI identify and locate Cavanaugh.
