Lynnwood roommates plead guilty to Jan. 6 breach
LYNNWOOD — A Lynnwood man pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges surrounding his breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tucker Weston, 34, pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer and civil disorder. He is scheduled to be sentenced in November.
Weston’s roommate and co-defendant, Jesse Watson, had pleaded guilty to Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building in May. He reportedly raised a blue Trump banner on a pillar using a piece of tape before walking away, according to the charging papers.
According to court records, the roommates traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally. On the morning of Jan. 6, Weston participated in removing a metal barricade on the Capitol grounds, which helped other rioters to advance closer to the Capitol building.
