Bridgeville man pleads guilty to role in Jan. 6 riot

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A Bridgeville man accused of joining a mob that pushed against officers inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot pleaded guilty. 

Prosecutors announced Kenneth Grayson pleaded guilty to interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder.

According to court documents, Grayson entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing doors and joined a mob of rioters pushing against officers in the Rotunda. 

Using video footage from U.S. Capitol security cameras, FBI agents said they were able to place Grayson inside the Capitol at the same time he did a Facebook live.

The FBI said it also analyzed messages from Grayson to family members talking about his plans to go to the Capitol around Jan. 6, including a message from Dec. 23 saying, "IM THERE IF TRUMP TELLS US TO STORM THE (expletive) CAPITAL IMA DO THAT THEN!"

According to court documents, Grayson was wearing a black Pirates baseball hat and a black hooded sweatshirt with a "Q" believed to refer to the conspiracy theory QAnon on the day of the attack. 

Sentencing is set for Dec. 19. He could face up to five years in jail.
