Georgia Man Convicted for Jan. 6 Riot Assault

Michael Bradley, a 50-year-old man from Forsyth, Georgia, was convicted for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, facing multiple charges including civil disorder and assaulting law enforcement officers. Evidence showed that he entered the Capitol armed with a baton and attempted to attack officers in the Lower West Terrace Tunnel, a site known for violent confrontations. After being initially repelled by a chemical agent, Bradley returned to swing his baton at officers, as captured by video. He was arrested on September 7, 2023, following an investigation initiated by an anonymous tip. Bradley is scheduled for sentencing on December 17, as part of the ongoing investigation that has seen nearly 1,500 individuals charged nationwide related to the Capitol breach. The FBI continues to seek information from the public regarding the events of that day.
