A Tampa man accused of taking a selfie inside the Senate Chamber during the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol has pled guilty to his involvement in the riot.
Paul Allard Hodgkins, 38, appeared in front of a judge virtually on Wednesday and pled guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding, which can net him a maximum of 20 years in prison along with a $250,000 fine. The plea allows Hodgkins to avoid four other charges brought on by the Justice Department.
According to a criminal complaint filed Feb. 9, a witness sent the FBI a selfie Hodgkins had allegedly taken on Jan. 6 in the Senate Chamber and later posted to Parler.
