(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Two people from Chicago's southwest suburbs agreed Monday to plead guilty to charges tied to the riot at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
Kelly Lynn Fontaine and Bryan Dula of Lockport reportedly spent 11 minutes inside the Capitol building the day of the riot.
The FBI allege the pair worked their way past the restricted perimeter around the Capitol as they made their way toward the building.
Court documents say Fontaine took a photograph as protesters entered the Capitol through a door that had been forced open. She and Dula then entered the Capitol through that same door.
The pair walked down the north hallway of the Senate wing of the Capitol, through the lower Senate corridors, and then to the north door of the Capitol, where they exited, records show.
Fontaine and Dula each plead guilty to disorderly conduct and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Their sentencing is set for Oct. 1.
They are among nearly 50 known Illinois residents to face federal criminal charges connected to the attack.
