Sills was in a group of 5 other individuals who are all accused of physically assaulting Capitol Police. Sills was seen on camera repeatedly assaulting multiple law enforcement officers. Federal officials say Sills threw multiple objects, including pole-like objects, at law enforcement officers. Sills is also seen using a strobe light, in an attempt to disorient the officers.
Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
