A Fontana man pleaded guilty to using a stun gun to attack a Washington, D.C. police officer during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
A Fontana man pleaded guilty Tuesday to using a stun gun to attack a Washington, D.C. police officer during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Fanone was brutally injured, and at one point, lost consciousness. He also suffered a heart attack while trying to fend off the mob of Donald Trump supporters outside the Capitol.In a taped interview with the FBI following his arrest, Rodriguez admitted he drove a stun gun into the base of Fanone's neck as the officer was trying to fight off rioters who had pulled him down steps on the Capitol's West Front steps.
Rodriguez and another co-defendant charged in the attack on Fanone were set to go to trial later this month. Last September, another rioter who had pleaded guilty to assaulting Fanone was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. An attorney for the Justice Department also said during the plea hearing that the government is reserving its right to potentially seek a sentencing enhancement for Rodriguez based on an argument that his conduct could have amounted to terrorism.
