Jonathan Humphreys admitted entering the U.S. Capitol building through a broken window and refusing to leave

A San Diego-based founder of a local security company pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach.

Humphreys, who was seen on surveillance footage captured by cameras throughout the Capitol, pleaded guilty to counts of disorderly conduct in a capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building. He’s set to be sentenced in February by a federal judge in Washington, D.C.

He declined to elaborate on the nature of his business contract in Washington, citing a non-disclosure agreement. However, he said he had “plans” in case anyone entered the Capitol building, but “plans changed a couple times,” court records state. After rioters broke through barricades and entered the Capitol, Humphreys joined them and later jumped through a broken window next to the Senate Wing doors, according to the document.
