A Cranberry Township man has pleaded guilty to one of four federal charges he faced for entering the U.S. Capitol building during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.

Jordan Bonenberger, 27, pleaded guilty to a charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, and is scheduled to be sentenced remotely Sept. 5 by Judge John D. Bates in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. He is not being held in custody.

In a plea agreement he accepted April 28, Bonenberger admitted to walking to the Capitol building after attending the rally held to protest the results of the 2020 election.

At about 2:38 p.m., Bonenberger entered the building through the upper west side central doors, walked to the Rotunda and through a corridor on the third floor and then left the building at about 2:57 p.m.
