WASHINGTON DC (KLTV) - A Panola County man allegedly involved in riots on Jan. 6, 2021, in D.C., has waived his right to a trial by jury. Alex Kirk Harkrider, 36, of Carthage, will have a bench trial as a result, instead of a jury of his peers hearing the case and deciding upon a verdict and sentencing. According to judicial records, Harkrider will appear before Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024 at 10 a.m. His charges include civil disorder, obstruction of a civil proceeding, assaulting/resisting/impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon, theft of government property, and other charges related to the Jan. 6 capitol breach. Harkrider remains out of jail on a personal recognizance bond.
