An Alabama man who brought multiple weapons, including 11 Molotov cocktails, to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has reached a plea agreement.

Lonnie Coffman of Falkville was charged with multiple firearms charges after being one of hundreds arrested for storming the Capitol in support of then-President Donald Trump.

The rioters were trying to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden's election win.
