Goshen man pleads guilty in Capitol Riots case [View all]

GOSHEN — A Goshen man has pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain in the Capitol Riots investigation.

Jeffrey L. Munger, 55, Goshen, earlier this month pleaded guilty to Parading, Demonstrating or Picketing in a Capitol Building in violation of Title 40, U.S. Code, Section 5104©(2)(G).

As part of that plea, Munger could receive a sentence of six months in prison, a term of probation of not more than five years, and a fine of not more than $5,000. He will also pay restitution to the Architect of the Capitol in the amount of $500, to help pay for the $1.5 million in damage caused to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots, according to the plea bargain.

In return, other charges filed against Munger will be dropped, including charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in a capitol building.

His Washington, D.C.-based attorney, Heather Shaner, stated in an email to The Goshen News, “He is a wonderful man who made a mistake he deeply regrets.”
