LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Court documents show a man with ties to the Boogaloo Bois, John Subleski, has pleaded guilty to federal charges.
The FBI claims Subleski used social media and other forms of communication to incite a riot in downtown Louisville the same day as the U.S. Capitol breach.
On Jan. 6, Subleski made several posts online as the Capitol riots were happening. One post reads, "If [Washington] DC falls everywhere falls. So if the BBQ starts then I just wanna say to my fellow Luau participants," accompanied by an animated GIF saying "Aloha." Another post reads, "Time to storm LMPD."
According to the FBI, Subleski participated in a march through downtown Louisville on Jan. 6. He is accused of shooting at a vehicle and attempting to block traffic during the event.
Under the agreement, Subleski could face five years in prison.
His sentencing is scheduled for July 26.
