Following a weeklong trial in Washington, D.C., Michael Sparks, the very first rioter to breach the Capitol on Jan. 6 — he climbed through a window smashed apart by none other than convicted Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola — has been found guilty on six charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder.

The Kentucky resident came before jurors in the nation’s capital for a week before they rendered a guilty verdict across six counts. Besides the felony charges, Sparks was also convicted of misdemeanor offenses including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
