Ronnie Presley, 43, of Bethpage pleaded guilty on Thursday to a charge of “interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder.” According to court records, Presley entered the U.S. Capitol “through the Upper West Terrace doorway,” moved to the Rotunda and shouted, “Fight for this!” Then, as “multiple law enforcement officers attempted to clear the Rotunda of rioters, Presley disregarded verbal commands from the officers to leave” and “physically confronted” two officers. Presley was arrested in Nashville in March 2021 after an investigation by the FBI, Tennessee Lookout reports. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
