Former US Marine who also worked as a police officer in Florida pleads guilty to a charge of unlawfully entering and remaining in a restricted building in connection with the Jan. 6 US Capitol attack.
Lentz, 42, told Judge Randolph D. Moss on Tuesday that he entered the Marine Corps after graduating from high school. Several military veterans, as well as retired and active law enforcement officers, took part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol because they believed former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 presidential election.
Lentz, during a virtual court hearing on Tuesday, agreed that the Justice Department could prove that he traveled from Florida to attend former Trump's rally and unlawfully entered the Capitol grounds as well as the Capitol building. He also admitted posting a video he filmed inside the Capitol to Facebook.
“America has spoken. You can not stop millions of people. Cannot stop it. Can't. It's impossible. America has a voice. We give them the power,” Lentz said in the video. Lentz also claimed in the video that he"loved" his"boys in blue" but that there was"no way they can hold us back.
Lentz told the judge that it would be best for him to plead guilty and to put the case behind him. Moss accepted the guilty plea.
