Awful, audio quality again. It sounds like Wilson is calling in from the International Space Station.

Duke Edward Wilson will be pleading guilty to two counts: assaulting police with a dangerous weapon and obstruction of an official proceeding. These are both felony counts. This is the second guilty plea in an assault case. #CapitolRiot @wusa9

Duke Wilson is facing a maximum sentence of 8 years in prison and a potential fine of up to $200,000. He'll also be paying an agreed-upon restitution of $2,000. @wusa9 @EricFlackTV #CapitolRiot

Wilson's lawyer clarifies he faces up to 20 years on obstruction charge and 8 on the assault charge. Says his estimated offense level will be 22, which carries a recommended sentencing range of 41-51 months in prison. Similar to other felony pleas we've seen. #CapitolRiot @wusa9

Wilson's lawyer, Charles Peterson, says Wilson understands that it will be "difficult, if not impossible" to withdraw his guilty plea once he makes it. Relevant because another defendant, Paul Hodgkins, is now attempting to do just that. #CapitolRiot @wusa9

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth has accepted Duke Edward Wilson's plea of guilty on two counts: assaulting an officer w/ a dangerous weapon and obstruction of an official proceeding. Recommended sentence of 41-51 months in prison. #CapitolRiot @wusa9 @EricFlackTV

Wilson's attorney, Charles Peterson, says he's found Wilson to be "sincere and honest." Says he worked on an oil pipeline previously. Has no criminal history except for a DUI a few years back. Has abided by pretrial release conditions. Has support system in Boise. #CapitolRiot

DOJ isn't asking for Wilson to be detained while he awaits sentencing. That's a little interesting because he's now pleaded guilty to a crime of violence. Judge notes that the pole he used isn't considered a weapon by statute. #CapitolRiot

I did not catch if a sentencing date was set. Audio was really breaking up for me there at the end. Regardless, judge and DOJ will want a sentencing report first. #CapitolRiot

Sentencing for Duke Edward Wilson is November 22 at noon.
