A Washington, D.C., jury has ruled against an Ohio man who pinned the blame for his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot on Donald Trump .

Dustin Byron Thompson, 38, was found guilty Thursday on all six counts, including charges related to disrupting Congress efforts to formally certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. He also stole a coat rack and two bottles of liquor from the Capitol.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ordered Thompson to be detained until his sentencing because he considers him a flight risk. The judge excoriated the defendant, saying he believed Thompson was weak-minded and had lied on the stand about what he was thinking that day.

Walton also had choice words for Trump.

The insurgency and it was, in effect, that is very troubling, Walton said. I think our democracy is in trouble because unfortunately we have charlatans, like the former president, in my view, who dont care about democracy and only care about power.

Testifying earlier this week, Thompson told the courtroom he viewed the then-presidents speech that day as his marching orders. Trump had ended his Save America rally outside the White House by urging his supporters to fight like hell against Joe Biden s legitimate victory.

If the president is giving you almost an order to do something, I felt obligated to do that, Thompson said, according to NBC News .

He told jurors he grew up without any strong male role models, and felt like he had to do something to gain [Trumps] respect, his approval, CNN reported .
