KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City member of a far-right extremist group has pleaded guilty to a felony charge for his role in the January 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol. Federal prosecutors in Washington say 45-year-old Louis Enrique Colon, of Blue Springs, Missouri, pleaded guilty Wednesday to obstructing law enforcement officers. Prosecutors say Colon was a member of a chapter of the Proud Boys that included members from Kansas when he took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Colon had faced a charge of conspiring with other Proud Boys members to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he’s sentenced at a later date.
