Trump superfan pleads guilty to bringing Molotov cocktails to Capitol riot

A 70-year-old U.S. Army veteran pleaded guilty to federal charges after he was arrested at the Jan.6 insurrection with nearly a dozen Molotov cocktails.

Lonnie Leroy Coffman, of Alabama, agreed to plead guilty Friday to felony weapons charges related to the U.S. Capitol riot, after police and FBI agents found his pickup truck parked behind the Library of Congress filled with weapons and ammunition, reported HuffPost.

"After they shut down the area because of the pipe bombs, a law enforcement officer spotted a gun on the seat of Coffman's pickup," the website reported. "A subsequent search of the truck turned up a 'loaded 9 mm Hi-Point handgun; a loaded Windham Weaponry rifle; a loaded Hatfield Gun Company SAS shotgun; several large capacity ammunition feeding devices loading with more than ten rounds of rifle ammunition; hundreds of rounds of ammunition; a crossbow with bolts; several machetes; camouflage smoke devices; stun gun' and 11 Molotov cocktails."

Coffman's truck was parked near the headquarters for both the Democratic and Republican national committees, which had been targeted by a pipe bomber who remains at large, and he was originally indicted on 17 counts.

He came to Washington, D.C., on Dec. 11, one day before another pro-Trump rally, and tried to meet with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), but a staffer described him as "unbalanced" or "not 100% there," while a family member described him as a "hermit."

Police also found a note in his pickup that singled out a Muslim congresswoman and praised a number of conservative public figures, and he had another note that contained contact info for Fox News hosts Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.
