Missouri Man Found Guilty of Felony and Misdemeanor Charges Related to Jan. 6 Capitol Breach
WASHINGTON – A Missouri man was found guilty in the District of Columbia today of one felony and four misdemeanor charges related to his conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Matt Eugene Loganbill, 56, of Versailles, Missouri, was found guilty of all charges against him following a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the District of Columbia.
Loganbill was convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony and misdemeanor offense of 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.
According to the government’s evidence, on Jan. 6, 2021, Loganbill, wearing a helmet, gas mask, backpack and carrying an American flag affixed to a pole, marched with a crowd toward the Capitol building at about 1:20 p.m. Loganbill and was among the group of rioters who illegally entered the U.S. Capitol grounds and later, the Capitol building.
Loganbill then crawled under the scaffolding erected on the Lower West Terrace and used the stairs to reach the Upper West Terrace doors. At approximately 2:42 p.m., Loganbill moved to the front of a crowd at the doors, where he encountered a line of police officers prohibiting entrance into the Capitol. Officers, realizing they were heavily outnumbered, retreated. The crowd, including Loganbill, then entered the building. Inside, Loganbill proceeded up a flight of stairs and into the Rotunda. Inside the building, Loganbill joined a mob that had gathered to resist officers and remained inside the building until approximately 3:16 p.m.
Judge Berman Jackson will sentence Loganbill on March 12, 2024. The Court will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
