Northwest man found guilty in connection with Jan. 6

scales of justice

POLO, Mo. - A Northwest Missouri man has been found guilty for his role in connection with the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol two years ago.

After waiving his right to a jury trial, Lloyd Cruz Jr., of Polo, was found guilty last Friday of entering and remaining in a restricted building and picketing in a Capitol building.

Court documents show that federal agents were able to pinpoint Cruz being in the Capitol on January 6th because of cell phone records.

Cruz told authorities he attended the speech given by then-President Donald Trump and the following march to the Capitol.

While Cruz told authorities he was not in the building, CCTV footage from cameras show Cruz inside the Capitol. Cruz will be sentenced on May 2.
