Blas Santillan

Blas Santillan, of Clayton, Georgia, pushed through the Rotunda Doors of the U.S. Capitol at about 2:46 p.m. during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, just eight minutes after rioters first breached them, and marched through the Rotunda with dozens of others until Metropolitan Police in riot gear physically forced the crowd out around 3:10 p.m.; after being pushed outside, he remained with the crowd and shouted at them, encouraging others to go back inside the building. He pleaded guilty to one charge, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 9/23/2022 to 45 days of incarceration, 36 months of probation, a $10 special assessment, $500 in restitution, and 60 hours of community service.
