Report: NJ Gym Owner to Plead Guilty to Assaulting Officer on Jan. 6th
From CNN this afternoon: A New Jersey gym owner and former MMA fighter pleaded guilty on Friday to assaulting….
“a police officer during the January 6 insurrection, marking the first time a Capitol rioter has been convicted of violence against police.
“Scott Fairlamb, 44, also pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding. He could face a sentence of more than three years in prison, according to his agreement with prosecutors read at his plea hearing on Friday. He has also agreed to pay $2,000 in restitution for damage done to the Capitol.”
According to the CNN report, “Body camera footage shows Fairlamb following and taunting officers as they made their way through the mob. At one point, Fairlamb shouts ‘you have no idea what the f**k you’re doing,’ shoves an officer, and then punches the officer in the head, the footage shows. He is among the small group of Capitol riot cases from which CNN and other media outlets have obtained and made public video evidence showing the alleged violence up close, from police perspectives that were captured on body-worn cameras.
“Prosecutors also allege that Fairlamb was one of the first rioters inside the Senate side of the building.”
