A Conway man accused of attacking a police officer on the steps of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot has apparently reached a plea agreement with prosecutors.
According to an order filed Wednesday afternoon in federal court in Washington, D.C., U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras vacated a status hearing slated for Peter Francis Stager, 43.
A plea hearing for him has been scheduled for Feb. 16.
No further details were provided in the court filing.
Stager is accused of using a flagpole to beat a police officer who was face down on the steps of the Capitol.
He has remained in the District of Columbia jail since his arrest shortly after the incident.
