Matthew DaSilva, a 51-year-old Navy veteran and Collin County resident, was found guilty of assaulting a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol...
“His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the presidential election,” the U.S. attorney’s office said in a written statement.Prosecutors said DaSilva made his way to the Capitol’s west plaza about 2:30 p.m. that day while holding a flagpole and waving a large blue flag.
The video shows DaSilva approached a group of officers in the tunnel minutes later and push against an officer’s outstretched riot shield before grabbing it and pulling it away.Advertisement Court documents say DaSilva also swatted the officer’s arm away as the officer try to deploy pepper spray.DaSilva is scheduled to be sentenced in October. It was not immediately clear how much time in prison he faces.
In the 30 months since the riot, more than 1,000 people have been arrested — in almost every state — in relation to crimes committed during the breach of the Capitol, including more than 350 who have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The investigation remains ongoing.
