WASHINGTON -- A man accused of running into the U.S. Capitol with a loaded handgun pleaded guilty Thursday to several charges, including firearms offenses, cocaine possession and fleeing police.

Carlos Greene, 21, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to charges stemming from his arrest last September, prosecutors said.

According to court documents, Greene drove his sport utility vehicle through a security checkpoint on the Capitol grounds before crashing it. He then evaded several officers as he ran through the building and was eventually stopped by civilians, prosecutors said.

Police found a plastic bag containing crack cocaine and a handgun.

Greene faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison when he is sentenced on Sept. 27.
