Prosecutors will push for a 3½- to 4¼-year prison sentence, the man's attorney said, but the judge isn't confined by the plea agreement's terms.
A New Jersey man on Friday became the first person to plead guilty to assaulting a police officer during the January 6 Capitol riot, the Associated Press reported.
Fairlamb's affirmation of guilt occurred two weeks after four police officers testified before a House of Representatives commission about their experiences battling the Capitol rioters on January 6. The insurrectionists assaulted approximately 140 officers that day—about 80 from the U.S. Capitoland about 60 from the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department—according to the U.S. Justice Department. Five of those officers later died, with four taking their lives.
Fairlamb, a former mixed martial arts fighter whose brother is a U.S. Secret Service agent, was one of the very first rioters to breach the Capitol after other rioters smashed windows using riot shields and kicked out a locked door, according to federal prosecutors. After leaving the building, Fairlamb harassed a line of police officers, shouting in their faces and blocking their progress through the mob, prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth accepted the plea for Fairlamb, who has been jailed since his January 22 arrest at his home in Stockholm, New Jersey.
