After assaulting police officers, Miles and his co-defendant, Matthew Lebrun, 33, of New Orleans, went into the Capitol building to smash a window of the Senate Wing Door and then entered the Capitol through the broken window.
The broken window was subsequently entered by a series of other rioters.
Miles was arrested in Zephyrhills on April 12, 2022.
During his plea, he reportedly showed no signs of remorse before Judge Jia M. Cobb.

The Proud Boys are an exclusively male neo-fascist movement originated in the far-right magazine Taki.mag in 2016, taking its name from a song from the 2011 Disney musical Aladdin, Proud of Your Boy.
Since its emergence ahead of the 2016 presidential election, the Proud Boys movement has been declared a terrorist organization in both Canada and New Zealand.
