Philip Grillo, 49, was found guilty Tuesday of five federal charges: misdemeanor offenses 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; parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building; and felony obstruction of an official proceeding. He has not yet been sentenced.
According to the Justice Department, Grillo illegally entered and exited the Capitol multiple times - once through a broken window - and was recorded saying: 'I'm here to stop the steal. It's our f------ House!' He was seen on surveillance footage pushing against law enforcement officers who were trying to stop the crowd's advance into the building. Prosecutors also presented evidence of him filming himself saying, 'We f------ did it, baby! We f------ did it, you understand? We stormed the Capitol. We shut it down.' He also recorded himself smoking marijuana inside the building.
