A man known as the ”Spider Nazi” has pleaded guilty in connection with the protest that took place on January 6th at the U.S. Capitol.
Brandon Dillard, who gained the nickname #SpiderNazi due to his distinctive ‘Supreme’ spider web-patterned hooded sweatshirt, has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds on Tuesday.
Dillard admitted that he repeatedly tried to remove an officer’s helmet by grabbing it.
According to his plea agreement, if a judge determines that he made physical contact with an officer, his sentence could range from eight to 14 months in federal prison.
Additionally, the man known as the #SpiderNazi confessed that he confronted lines of officers on January 5th, 2021, the night before the protest, pointing at them and shouting “forward!”
He also admitted that on the day of the demonstration he climbed down the Capitol’s exterior wall from the Upper West Terrace area and was one of the first individuals to enter Room ST-2M of the Capitol building.
Meanwhile, nearly 1,200 people have been charged in connection with the protest at the Capitol, and over 1,000 individuals remain unidentified or at large.

What was the significance of Brandon Dillard’s choice of attire during the protest and how did it lead to his identification by law enforcement?
Nting lasers at them in an attempt to blind them. He also admitted to being part of a group that breached the Capitol building on January 6th, although he claims he did not engage in any violent behavior inside the building.
The nickname “Spider Nazi” was given to Dillard due to his choice of attire during the protest. He wore a hooded sweatshirt with a spider web-patterned design, which gained attention and led to his identification by law enforcement. The distinctive sweatshirt became a symbol of his involvement in the protest.
The guilty plea comes after extensive investigation by the FBI, who were able to identify and apprehend Dillard. His capture was announced on Twitter by Ryan J. Reilly, a journalist, in March 2023.
While Dillard has admitted to his actions, his sentencing will ultimately depend on several factors, including whether physical contact was made with an officer. If it is determined that he did make physical contact, he could face a sentence ranging from eight to 14 months in federal prison.
The events of January 6th, 2021, when a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building, shocked the nation and led to multiple arrests and investigations. The incident highlighted the deep divisions within the country and the ongoing controversy surrounding the 2020 Presidential election.
The guilty plea from Brandon Dillard, also known as the #SpiderNazi, serves as a reminder of the individuals involved in the Capitol riot and the consequences they face for their actions. As further investigations unfold and more individuals are brought to justice, it is hoped that the country can move forward and heal from the events of that day.
