According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Larry Brock, 55, of Grapevine, Texas, was found guilty of six charges related to the insurrection event.

Documents show that Brock, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, was wearing a tactical vest and helmet when he entered the Capitol about 2:24 p.m. that day.

He moved through various parts of the Capitol, picked up a discarded pair of plastic flex-cuffs and kept them. Later, he rifled through paperwork on a senator's desk. In all, the DOJ said, he spent 37 minutes in the Capitol.

“He means to take hostages. He means to kidnap, restrain, perhaps try, perhaps execute members of the U.S. government,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Weimer in January said of Brock without providing specifics.

In the weeks and days leading up to Jan. 6, Brock posted messages on social media, including one stating “I prefer insurrection at this point,” and another which reads, “our second American Revolution begins in two days.”

Brock was arrested on Jan. 10, 2021, in Texas.

Brock was found guilty of felony obstruction of an official proceeding as well as five misdemeanors. The felony charge comes with a maximum 20-year prison sentence.

Brock is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 14, 2023.

Since the riot, nearly 900 people have been arrested. Almost 275 of them have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.
