A New Jersey man pleaded guilty to two federal counts of assaulting law enforcement and obstruction of an official proceeding during the Jan. 6 Capitol assault.
Scott Fairlamb is the first accused rioter charged with assaulting law enforcement to plead guilty.
Obstruction of an official proceeding carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and the assaulting law enforcement court carries a maximum sentence of 8 years.Scott Fairlamb of Sussex County, N.J., wearing a camouflage jacket, was caught on video shoving and hitting police outside of the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
"Are you an American? Act like one!" Fairlamb, a gym owner and former MMA fighter, is heard yelling in a body cam video, which was released to ABC and 13 other media outlets as part of the ongoing legal effort."You guys have no idea what the f*** you’re doing."Scott Fairlamb of Sussex County, N.J., wearing a camouflage jacket, was caught on video shoving and hitting police outside of the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
