Secret Service Agent’s Brother Takes First Plea Deal For Assaulting Cops On Jan. 6
HuffPost
Scott Fairlamb, an MMA fighter who is the son of a New Jersey state trooper, entered a guilty plea Friday.
A New Jersey gym owner and Donald Trump supporter who harassed and assaulted officers during the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty to two counts on Friday ― becoming the first Capitol attack defendant to enter a guilty plea in connection with an assault on law enforcement. Scott Fairlamb, whose father was a New Jersey trooper and whose brother was on Michelle Obama’s Secret Service detail, pleaded guilty to two counts: one of obstruction of an official proceeding, and one of assaulting an officer. Both counts are felonies, and the plea agreement states that the sentencing guidelines call for between 41 months minimum and 51 months maximum imprisonment. Fairlamb’s lawyer can argue for less prison time at sentencing.More Related News
