An Oklahoma man who took a beer from Nancy Pelosi’s refrigerator pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for his part in a riot/parade in the Capitol on January 6.
Andrew Craig Ericson, 24, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
Prosecutors will drop three related misdemeanor charges in exchange for his plea. Ericson said in a signed statement that he is pleading guilty because he is, in fact, guilty.
Ericson posted a photo of himself on Snapchat while relaxing with his feet on a table in Pelosi’s conference room. He also took a beer out of her refrigerator. Hello, it’s not like he took Marie Antoinette’s ice cream!
He will face six months in federal prison and a $5,000 fine but will pay $500 in restitution. That must have been some expensive beer.
A miserable human being who knew him in high school turned him in.
Federal prosecutors said Ericson live-streamed himself entering the building with other supporters of then-President Donald Trump and entering the Crypt, Rotunda, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s conference room.
“While inside the Speaker’s Conference Room or other office space, the defendant took a beer out of a mini-refrigerator,” according to the documents.
He also admitted taking a selfie and having someone else take a photo of him. And, that’s not all. He agreed that he made “cheering sounds” in the Capitol building without permission.
OMG, did you know he took a selfie and, gulp, cheered?
Koco5 Oklahoma reported he admitted to his guilt.
“I am pleading guilty because I am, in fact, guilty,” Ericson said in a signed statement.
More parading J6ers (INSURRECTION, WE THINK NOT!):
Whatever this is, it is not anything close to a coup or insurrection.pic.twitter.com/rI8Or41Q6H
