A Kentucky man who used a flagpole to batter a door near the House chamber during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was found guilty in federal court in Washington on Wednesday on nine counts, including civil disorder and disruption of an official proceeding, prosecutors said. During the encounter, which was captured on video from multiple angles, rioters came close enough to lock eyes with lawmakers, separated only by a few officers and antique wood-and-glass doors. Judge Richard J. Leon of the Federal District Court in Washington found Mr. Jones guilty after a bench trial on two felony and seven misdemeanor charges, including the destruction of government property. The judge denied the government’s request to treat the flagpole that Mr. Jones was carrying as a dangerous weapon, reducing four of the six felony counts that he had initially faced to misdemeanors. “We were disappointed in the verdict, but we understand and respect the judge’s decision,” William Brennan, a lawyer for Mr. Jones, said in an interview.
