According to court documents signed by each brother acknowledging their conduct, the two traveled from Portland to Washington D.C. for the “Stop the Steal” rally in support of then President Donald Trump.
Once the rally turned violent, video captured Jonathanpeter Klein throwing a piece of audio equipment at several officers with the Metropolitan Police Department, hitting one officer identified as “N.S.” and leaving a dent in his helmet, according to court documents.
“Body worn camera footage shows that the impact of the blow caused Officer. N.S. to stumble, and that other officers needed to assist Officer N.S. in regaining his footing,” court documents state. “Officer N.S. would testify that the blow to his head caused him to momentarily lose consciousness and that he required the assistance of another officer to avoid falling.”

The Klein brothers then entered the U.S. Capitol, and proceeded to force open a door that police were blocking “in order to prevent a further breach of the building,” according to court documents.
The brothers were arrested March 23, 2021.
U.S. Department of Justice officials have said the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is ongoing. Since the attack, more than 1,470 people were charged, including more than 530 charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, according to the Justice Department.
Records show nine people from Oregon have been charged with crimes for their actions during the attack. So far, seven have pleaded guilty and received sentences that range from three years of probation to nearly four years in prison.
