WASHINGTON – John Anthony Schubert III, 47, from Bradenton, Florida, has pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement during the January 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. This announcement was made by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. The breach disrupted a joint session of Congress meant to confirm the electoral votes of the 2020 presidential election.

Schubert admitted to a felony charge of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper on July 11, 2024. According to the prosecution, Schubert was actively involved in the violence at the Capitol, using physical force against police officers defending the West Plaza of the Capitol. He also assisted others in entering the Capitol through a broken window.

The FBI apprehended Schubert on October 4, 2023, in his hometown. His case is part of a larger investigation that has seen over 1,387 individuals charged nationwide, with more than 493 facing charges for violent acts against law enforcement. The extensive investigations continue, led by the FBI and supported by local law enforcement agencies.
