WESTMINSTER, CA — A former Westminster resident admitted Monday, March 20 to assaulting a police officer while participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Orange County Register reported.

Kevin Louis Galetto, now a Merritt Island, Fla. resident, pleaded guilty in a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C., to one felony count of assaulting, resisting or impeding police officers.

The assault took place in the Capitol's Lower West Terrace tunnel, the report said. The 63-year-old Galetto was among a large group of people entering the tunnel when they were met by police who denied them entrance to the Capitol building, according to the report.

Members of the group "then began to act violently towards officers."
