A Massachusetts man was convicted Thursday of felony and misdemeanor charges related to his actions during the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

Michael St. Pierre, 46, of Swansea, was found guilty of one felony count and three misdemeanor counts Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The sentencing followed a jury trial before U.S. District Court Judge Jia M. Cobb, the release said.

St. Pierre was convicted of rioting and three misdemeanors, including destruction of government property, disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and committing an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds.
