Charlottesville information technology employee who apologized to city officials for entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection had been charged in 2020 with brandishing a firearm and aggressive driving, according to Albemarle County General District Court documents.
Donald Allen Groat II, whose name has appeared on social media posts by former Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney as well as in major news organizations, was charged on July 24, 2020 with the misdemeanors in connection with a road rage-like incident.
On Oct. 13, 2020, Groat pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless driving, and the firearm charge was dropped. Court records show he was required to turn in his firearms to the Albemarle County Police Department and was prohibited from purchasing, carrying or transporting them.
Records do not show how long that ban was to last. He was ordered by the court to receive counseling with Offender Aid and Restoration while under probation.
