A man who worked as a US State Department diplomatic security officer pleaded guilty on Friday to joining a mob’s attack on the US Capitol over three years ago, court records show. Kevin Michael Alstrup is scheduled to be sentenced on February 12 by US District Judge Randolph Moss. Alstrup pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Both counts are misdemeanors carrying a maximum prison sentence of six months. An attorney who represented Alstrup at his plea hearing didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Alstrup admitted that he entered the Capitol building through the Senate Wing doors after other rioters had forced them open and broken windows aside them. He took photographs with a camera before leaving the building roughly 28 minutes after entering. Alstrup was arrested in February in Washington, DC, where he lived on January 6, 2021. The judge allowed him to remain free until his sentencing.
