MIDDLESEX, N.C. — A 21-year-old from Middlesex charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is accused of violating the terms of his pretrial release.
NBC affiliate WCNC reports Matthew Jason Beddingfield went to a restaurant with his mother, an undisclosed location and drove by his father’s house. As part of his pretrial release supervision program, Beddingfield wasn’t allowed to see his father, who reportedly went with Beddingfield to the Capitol.
WCNC reports Beddingfield was only allowed to go to and from work and was under the supervision of his grandfather.
Federal court documents say that Matthew Jason Beddingfield jumped over a barricade on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and charged toward a group of Capitol police officers. He attacked one of the officers, "jabbing at them with a metal flag pole he brought with him," the court records said.
The federal government obtained several videos and pictures of Beddingfield, all from different angles, that show him holding an American flag and using it to harm Capitol police. Beddingfield was also among a group for rioters who entered the Capitol through a door on the upper west terrace. (Read more)
