A federal jury has found a New Jersey man guilty of scuffling with cops as they tried to clear the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6 riots.
A jury found Brian Glenn Bingham, 38, guilty of assaulting an officer, trespassing, disorderly conduct and picketing in a Capitol building, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. Court documents describe how Bingham engaged with police as officers were attempting to clear the building of rioters, authorities said.
As officers ordered rioters out, with the order to “Move!” Bingham asked them, “Where do you want me to move?” and then threatened an officer, saying, “Push me again!” prosecutors said. Video surveillance footage shows Bingham squaring up with an officer and appearing to shout at him, authorities said. At one point, he appears to throw a punch or a shove at the officer with his right arm, court documents said.
Bingham scuffles with the officer, grabbing at and pushing the cop before several other officers get involved and pull Bingham away from the officer. The officer in the scuffle later told investigators Bingham scratched him on the right side of his left eye, court documents said. Eventually, the officers get Bingham away from the officer and push the rioter toward the doorway where he leaves the building.
