WASHINGTON — A former New Jersey National Guard police sergeant who went on the run in November, after the FBI came to arrest him in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, pleaded guilty on Thursday to assaulting officers. Gregory Yetman pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with physical contact and the intent to commit another felony during a hearing before Chief Judge James E. Boasberg.
'He observed rioters who had been exposed to gas and oleoresin capsicum spray and watched as other rioters attempted to break windows. He also saw a police officer get pulled into the crowd but did not attempt to help the officer.' Yetman then saw officers who were surrounded by other members of the mob, picked up a canister of OC spray, and 'intentionally assaulted the same group of besieged police officers by spraying them.
