The leader of the North Carolina Chapter of the Proud Boys Friday pleaded guilty to felony charges for his actions associated with the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Charles Donohoe, 34, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers.  Donohoe has also agreed to help the government with its ongoing investigation into the breach of the US Capitol. Donohoe may serve up to 20 years in prison on the conspiracy charge and up to 8 years on the charge of assaulting officers. However, under the plea agreement, the prosecutor will recommend the sentence be reduced.

Under the agreement, Donohoe “shall testify fully, completely and truthfully before any and all grand juries in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, and at any and all trials of cases or other court proceedings in the District of Columbia and elsewhere” that the prosecutor deems relevant. The agreement also states that Donohoe will have to answer questions, provide sworn written statements, take government-administered polygraph examinations and participate in covert law enforcement activities.

The Proud Boys describe themselves as a “Western chauvinists” group. Donohoe became the president of his local Proud Boys chapter in North Carolina in 2018. By January 6, 2021, he had obtained the highest rank within the organization.

Donohoe was arrested on March 11, 2021 and added to the case. Donohoe originally faced seven charges, but his plea deal allows him to admit only to two of those charges.

In a signed statement of offense, Donohoe states that he witnessed Enrique Tarrio organize the Ministry of Self-Defense, a group through which the Proud Boys planned and executed the events that took place on January 6. In the signed statement explains that “Donohoe understood from Tarrio that the new chapter would be focused on the planning and execution of national rallies and would consist of hand-selected ‘rally’ boys. Donohoe felt privileged to be included and agreed to participate.”

As of Friday, the five other leaders Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola have not pleaded guilty.
