A Dillon man was found guilty of felony and misdemeanor charges related to his participation in the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington, D.C.

The U.S. District Court in the nation’s capital found Henry Phillip “Hank” Muntzer, 55, guilty of two felonies: obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder. Muntzer was found guilty of misdemeanor charges including disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 20.

Muntzer is one of 1,313 people who have been charged across 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Former President Donald Trump was indicted last year for efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election leading up to the violence at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
