Weekly January 6th Rioter Roundup: Week of July 4th


     Jordan T. Revlett, the 23-year-old Kentucky man known for placing in a 2019 "sexy farmer" contest, was sentenced to 14 days in prison with a year of probation, 80 hours of community service, and $500 restitution after pleading guilty to a class B misdemeanor of picketing, parading, or demonstrating in the Capitol building.

     Jeremy Grace, 38, an Oregon Proud Boy who was arrested with his father for the Capitol insurrection after being photographed just behind the "Lectern Guy" in the infamous photograph, was sentenced to 21 days in prison, a year of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution after pleading guilty to entering a restricted building or grounds.

     Robert Snow, the 78-year-old Arkansas man who peed on a column inside the Capitol building, was sentenced to a year of probation with 60 hours of community service and $500 restitution for picketing, parading, or demonstrating inside the U.S. Capitol building after pleading guilty in March.

     Benjamin Torre, 24, from Georgia, was sentenced to two months of house arrest with a year of probation and $2,113 in fines and restitution after pleading guilty to the aforementioned class B misdemeanor.

     Jamie Ferguson, a 44-year-old Virginia resident who served in the West Virginia Army National Guard for some reason and spent half an hour in the U.S. Capitol in a "Trump girl" shirt, could face up to half a year in prison after pleading guilty this week to a misdemeanor parading charge, although she will likely get much less when she is sentenced on November 18th.

     Ryan Suleski, 34, also of Virginia, is set to be sentenced on October 14th after pleading guilty this week to two misdemeanor charges of illegal entry and theft of government property, facing a maximum of two years in prison for entering the Capitol even after he saw police fighting rioters and was hit with tear gas, marching through the U.S. Capitol, and stealing papers belonging to a U.S. senator before giving a defiant interview that advocated for violence in politics.

     Samuel Fisher, a 33-year-old New York City pickup artist and self-described "dating coach" who wrote misogynistic and creepy advice online under the name "Brad Holiday" and is already serving a sentence of 42 months in federal prison for hoarding a machete, rifles, ammo, and other weapons found in his apartment, pled guilty this week to entering a restricted building or grounds.

     Tyler Earl Ethridge, another 33-year-old, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was arrested and charged with civil disorder, a felony, and four related misdemeanors all carrying a combined maximum of eight years in prison for removing fencing leading to the Capitol and shouting at rioters fighting police to "keep fighting' before being shot in the knee with a rubber bullet; he lost his job as a youth pastor in February 2021.

     John Thomas Gordon, 47, of Bayard, West Virginia, was also arrested this week and charged with felony civil disorder and related misdemeanor offenses for repeatedly throwing a hard object at a glass door in the Lower West Terrace in an attempt to break it while shouting obscenities at law enforcement officers defending the Capitol.

January 6th Felon Hopes To Be Reunited With Girl He Served Prison Time for Trafficking

     Buckle up when I say that this is one of the most disturbing January 6th cases I have ever seen, even though the defendant in this case has not been charged with any acts of violence or property destruction. I've already written about Michael Marroquin here . He spent over an hour inside the Capitol, shouted, "Keep moving," when insurrectionists came upon a police line, and made it to the hallway outside the House of Representatives where Ashli Babbitt was shot. While there, he took a now-viral photo of an officer with his firearm pointed at Marroquin. Marroquin shouted that the officer was a "traitor" and dared the police to arrest him.       Marroquin has a disturbing past. In the article published soon after his January 6th arrest, I described his arrest for human trafficking in Bolivia. In 1989, Marroquin was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and given six months to live. He has gone on to live 35 years, and this seeming divine intervention led h...

Here's What Happened to the Seven January 6th Defendants From Northern California

     Sean McHugh, an Auburn resident with a significant criminal history, was convicted of felony charges of assaulting law enforcement and obstruction of an official proceeding for his egregious actions that day, which included trying to breach barricades at least four times, inciting the mob and insulting law enforcement with a bullhorn, spraying chemical spray at officers, and pushing a large metal "Trump" sign into the police line. He was sentenced to 78 months in prison, which he is serving through December 2026 at the FCI at Victorville. After that, he gets to spend three years on probation and pay $7,200 in fines, fees, and restitution.      Jorge Aaron Riley, a Sacramento resident and self-proclaimed "Native Republican" who stormed the Capitol on January 6th "for the war," pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He is serving his sentence through November 2024 at FCI Lompo...

Ohio Man Who Raped Deaf Girl Arrested for Assaulting Police on January 6th

     At the sentencing of two Oath Keepers last week, Judge Amit Mehta criticized the lack of media coverage of the hearing as well as a public ignorance to the events of January 6th. There are many narratives about January 6th that need to be actively fought. One of these narratives is that the people at the Capitol were ordinary Americans who got caught up in the moment because of Trump. While that may be true for some, and Trump certainly bears criminal culpability for what happened that day, I referred to the mob in the days after the insurrection as a "sea of degenerates." More and more, this is being proven true.      Just last week, David Paul Daniel of Mint Hill, North Carolina, was charged federally for sexually abusing two girls and documenting the abuse before posting depictions online. He joins the long list of January 6th defendants with criminal histories. For child sex crimes alone, the list is extensive: a Citrus Heights man was also indicte...
