WASHINGTON — A Capitol riot defendant who waded through tear gas behind a pro-Donald Trump mob pursuing police officers inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 advanced to a runoff GOP primary election in a Georgia House district on Tuesday, NBC News projects. Charles Hand III, who goes by Chuck Hand, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense in connection with the Jan. 6 attack.
Hand admitted that inside the Capitol he moved towards an altercation between law enforcement and rioters, but that his wife pulled him away, 'discouraging him from intervening.' After the riot, Hand reached out to a cousin who was in local law enforcement who told him 'that ‘the feds are slow’ and that they would come to you, just wait,” according to a sentencing memo in his case. Hand was arrested in March 2022, and sentenced to 20 days of incarceration in January 2023.
