effrey McKellop may get a plea bargain in the case in which he's accused of trying to stab a police officer during the January 6 Capitol riot, according to WRC-TV reporter Scott MacFarlane.
McKellop was charged with assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon, entreating restricted grounds with a violent weapon and other charges connected to the January 6 insurrection. In April, he pleaded not guilty to the nine charges facing him.
Police body camera footage showed McKellop pushing uniformed D.C. Metropolitan Police officers and also trying to grab an officer's canister of riot-control spray as the officer tried to use it on the crowd, authorities said.
Footage also showed him picking up a flagpole from the ground and thrusting it at the face of another police officer, like a spear, authorities said. The flagpole had a "Blue Line National" flag and another flag with the words "Trump. Keep America Great." The "Blue Line" flag is often flown to show support for police officers or opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement for racial justice.
