Nearly 30 people from Texas sentenced so far in Jan. 6 Capitol riot
Of the 76 people arrested in Texas in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, 40 have been convicted and 29 have been sentenced for offenses they committed during the chaotic siege, according to federal documents.
The defendants are accused of breaching the U.S. Capitol building to interrupt a joint session of the United States Congress convened to certify the vote count of the Electoral College of the 2020 Presidential Election.
Before the riot, many of the defendants participated in the "Stop the Steal" rally led by then-President Donald Trump.
After the siege, federal investigators sifted through social media, scoured through electronic data and received tips that helped them identify the rioters.
More than 880 people from across the country have been charged with participating in the riot, including more than 270 people charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, according to FBI officials.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. appears to still be actively reviewing cases and filing charges more than 20 months after a group of protesters breached the Capitol spurred on by false claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from Trump.
Arrests and charges around Texas
Most recently, Jason Douglas Owens of Blanco, pleaded guilty on Nov. 10 to a count of assault on a federal officer involving physical contact. He admitted to shoving a Metropolitan Police Officer hard enough to cause his neck to snap back, according to court documents.
Last month, an El Paso man accused of assaulting a police officer during the U.S. Capitol attack was arrested and faces several charges.
FBI agents arrested David Rene Arredondo, 47, at a home in El Paso, officials said Oct. 27. He was being held without bond at the El Paso County Jail in Downtown.
Arredondo was charged in Washington, D.C., on felony charges of assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement officers and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder, as well as misdemeanor charges.
On Nov. 2 Joshua Lee Hernandez, 29, of Houston, pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia to assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers, and interfering with officers during a civil disorder.
Hernandez, who was arrested in Tennessee on Feb. 23, admitted to illegally entering the restricted grounds of the Capitol, heading to the Lower West Terrace area, and inciting the crowd by waving a flag and chanting.
He entered the Capitol through a window near the Senate Wing Doors, carrying a flagpole. He meandered through the building and joined rioters confronting law enforcement officers at the East Rotunda interior door.
Hernandez shouted and waved at others who joined him to push against the officers to open the doors to other rioters outside.
He then moved around the group of rioters, moved the flagpole up, reached with it over the group of rioters surrounding the officers, and hit one officer on his riot helmet with the flagpole.
A family from Borger pleaded guilty in May to counts of Parading, Demonstrating or Picketing in a Capitol Building.
Dawn, Kristi Marie, Kayli and Thomas Munn were placed on probation for 35 months. Joshua Munn, who lives in Wisconsin, was also placed on probation for 36 months.
Most of the punishments ranged from probation to jail time.
However, three people were sentenced to prison in exchange for their pleas or after a jury trial.
Lucas Denney, who was arrested in Kinney County, pleaded guilty in March to a count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon. He was handed a 52-month prison sentence followed by three years of supervised release. He admitted to striking a Capitol Police officer with a metal pole during the fray.
Guy Wesley Reffitt, was sentenced in August to 87 months in prison - five months after a jury found him guilty of transporting a firearm in furtherance of civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a firearm, obstructing officers during a civil disorder and obstruction of justice -- hindering communications through force or threat of force.
During the trial, prosecutors told jurors that Reffitt, a member of the paramilitary Three Percenters, planned his excursion to D.C. for days and then plunged into the crowd with a handgun holstered to his waist while talking of physically removing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Nolan Cooke of Savoy was sentenced to a year and a day in prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to Acts during a civil disorder. The extra day added to his sentence allows him to earn good time credit so he can be released early.
Cooke entered a restricted area and helped lead the charge of rioters breaking through the police line.
According to court documents, Cooke was a part of a crowd that shoved its way through a group of U.S. Capitol Police officers who were providing security to the Capitol on the east side of the building.
He ultimately climbed the steps of the Capitol where he pushed through more officers to reach the door of the Capitol building, banged on a window with a flagpole.
The FBI continues to investigate the violent breach of the nation's Capitol and is asking anyone with information about possible rioters to call call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
