La Crosse County Man Pleads Guilty to One Charge in US Capitol Riot

A man from La Crosse County is pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge for his role in the January 6th US Capitol riot. 24-year-old Abram Markofski entered a guilty plea to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. The National Guard member was initially charged with four counts in May. The plea agreement will allow law enforcement to review his social media accounts and interview him before sentencing in December. Federal prosecutors say Markofski traveled to DC with Brandon Nelson of Dane County. The FBI said it did not uncover any evidence that Markofksi engaged in any violent or destructive behavior. He agreed to pay 500 dollars in restitution and could face up to 6 months in prison at sentencing.
