An Ohio pastor from the Salt and Light Brigade who led protesters up the East steps of the U.S. Capitol and declared “mission accomplished” on Jan. 6, 2021, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on six criminal counts.

William R. Dunfee, 58, of Frazeysburg, Ohio, entered not-guilty pleas to all charges at an arraignment hearing on Feb. 9 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather. His case will be before U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton for a status hearing in Washington on Feb. 24.
