Larry Brock, 55, of Grapevine, Texas, was found guilty of a total of six charges, including one felony, after a bench trial before U.S. District Judge John D. Bates.

According to the government’s evidence, Brock was among rioters in a mob that illegally entered the Capitol grounds and Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. Brock was wearing a tactical vest and had a helmet. He entered the Capitol at approximately 2:24 p.m. through the Senate Wing Doors. He moved through various areas of the building, including the Crypt and Rotunda. While in an area near the Rotunda Doors, he picked up a discarded pair of plastic flex-cuffs and kept them while in the building.

Brock was found guilty of the felony offense of obstruction of an official proceeding, and five misdemeanor offenses, including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a Capitol Building; entering and remaining on the floor of Congress; disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building.

Brock is to be sentenced on February 14, 2023. The felony obstruction charge carries a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison and potential financial penalties. The five misdemeanor offenses carry a combined statutory maximum of 3 ½ years of incarceration and potential financial penalties.

The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Valuable assistance was provided by U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas, and the Criminal Division.

The case was investigated by the FBI’s Dallas Field Office. Valuable assistance was provided by the FBI’s Washington Field Office, the U.S. Capitol Police, and the Metropolitan Police Department.

In the 22 months since January 6, 2021, nearly 900 individuals have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including over 275 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The investigation remains ongoing.
