Anthony Michael Puma

Anthony Michael Puma, 49, of Brownstown Township, Michigan, strapped a GoPro camera to his head before the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and recorded himself marching from his hotel near Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Capitol, where he entered the restricted area, urged other rioters at a wall on the west side to push forward, scaled a wall on the north side to reach the Upper West Terrace, and then climbed through a shattered window near the Senate Wing Door to enter the building; he had posted on Facebook beforehand that "war is coming" and asked what time the group would "storm the House of Representatives." He pleaded guilty to one charge, obstruction of an official proceeding, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 3/21/2023 to 9 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release, a $100 special assessment, a $500 fine, and $2,000 in restitution.
