Des Moines, IA (AP) — A Sioux City man who promised to behead President Joe Biden and predicted “blood in the streets” has pleaded guilty to a single charge and faces up to six months in prison for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Kenneth Rader entered the guilty plea via video conferencing Tuesday before a federal judge in Washington. Rader was allowed to remain free on bond pending his Sept. 9 sentencing. Rader initially pleaded not guilty to four counts.
In an agreement with federal prosecutors, the 54-year-old Rader pleaded guilty to demonstrating in the Capitol and prosecutors agreed to drop three charges.
He was arrested Jan. 20 in Sioux City after the FBI received a tip from a relative.
