HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – Dillon Herrington – the man known as the MAGA Lumberjack – will be tried for rape in Limestone County later this year.
Herrington’s rape trial will begin on June 23, according to court documents.
Herrington allegedly engaged in “sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex, who was incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated.”
According to a detective who testified at a court hearing earlier this month, the victim and Herrington were out with a group of friends drinking at a bar in Madison. The victim accused him of raping her while she was drunk and could not consent.
Herrington earned his nickname after surveillance footage captured him in a “Make American Great Again” hat and throwing a piece of lumber in the direction of members of law enforcement during the January 6, 2021 Capitol Breach.
Herrington pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers last June. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison and three years of supervised release in connection to the Capitol Breach last month.
Circuit Judge Chadwick Wise denied Herrington bond in the rape case earlier this month. Wise added that Herrington violated his release issued by the federal government at the time of his arrest in the rape case.
For the time being, Herrington remains in the Limestone County Jail.
