A Wichita man who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, wearing a patriotic face mask with an American flag painted on his head has pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor.

Chad Dustin Suenram, a U.S. Marine veteran, pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, court records show. His hearing was conducted before Judge Ana C. Reyes on Monday via video conference in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 19. He faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Suenram, 44, is among 10 Kansas residents charged in connection with the Capitol riot and the ninth to plead guilty. Eight of those defendants have been sentenced. William Pope, of Topeka, is scheduled to go to trial in July.
