A California man who joined the violent mob at the U.S. Capitol while on parole for another offense and then traveled to Mexico days before his arrest for offenses committed on Jan. 6 has pleaded guilty to a felony.

. . .

“Four more years!” he was heard yelling. He was also heard shouting: “Let’s go,” “we need more people,” and “we took this thing.”

He entered the building at around 2:45 p.m. and made his way to the Capitol Rotunda, where he saw police officers trying to corral rioters toward the exit. After witnessing rioters fight with both Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police officers, McGrew yelled at the officers.
“You leave!” he admitted to shouting at them. “This is our house!”

Then, as officers tried to clear the Rotunda, McGrew grabbed a police officer’s baton, wresting it away from the officer briefly before returning it. He shouted to other people in the crowd to lock arms and form a line in order to resist the officers’ efforts to clear the building.

. . .

At around 4:00 p.m., McGrew arrived at the entrance to the tunnel at the Lower West Terrace. After watching other rioters physically assault officers who were defending the tunnel, McGrew grabbed a piece of a wooden handrail, lifted it over his head, and threw it at the police officers, striking either an officer or the officer’s shield.
