January 6 defendant says he will plead guilty to assaulting officers after prosecutors admit error
CBSN
Washington – An alleged member of the Patriot Boys militia group charged with multiple crimes stemming from the January 6 Capitol attack said he would plead guilty to one felony count of assaulting officers with a pole on Monday after prosecutors said they made an "unintentional" procedural error since initially charging him.
Lucas Denney of Texas was accused of multiple felonies via criminal complaint, a charging document does not require the consensus of a Grand Jury, in December of 2021. Court documents alleged he grabbed a large tube outside the Capitol building and swung it at officers before he made his way to a large police line inside the west tunnel of the Capitol.
Denney was arrested and detained and has remained in jail since December.
