Aungst, 47, of South Williamsport, was ruled a suicide by Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr., according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/nation-world\/2022\/07\/pa-man-awaiting-sentencing-for-entering-the-us-capitol-during-the-jan-6-riot-has-died.html\">PennLive<\/a>. A gas field well service technician by trade, Aungst is survived by his mother, a daughter, and three siblings.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 6, 2021, Aungst traveled by bus to Washington to attend former President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cStop the Steal\u201d rally. He and a companion, codefendant Tammy A. Bronsburg, joined other people in the march to the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>In court, the prosecution presented evidence of Aungst and Bronsburg entering the Capitol at about 2:45 p.m. and leaving 30 seconds later. After 23 minutes, the duo once more entered the building, taking images and videos on their cell phones as they walked around the place and entered Senate Room 145. Bronsburg then posted a video she took while inside the Capitol on her Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>The pair were charged with four counts, including a misdemeanor charge of parading or demonstrating inside a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, entering and remaining in a restricted building, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.<\/p>\n<p>Aungst and Bronsburg pleaded guilty to\u00a0the misdemeanor charge; the other\u00a0three counts were to be dismissed at the time of sentencing. Aungst\u2019s sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 27. He could have faced six months in prison and $5,000 in fines.<\/p>\n<p>The two defendants were both free on personal recognizance. Neither Aungst nor Bronsburg had attacked any police officer or damaged government property while inside the Capitol, prosecutors have said.<\/p>\n<p> Jan. 6 Defendants <\/p>\n<p>By late June, about 840 individuals were arrested in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.
