Bryan Shawn Smith

Bryan Shawn Smith, 37, of Huntsville, Alabama, was among rioters on the U.S. Capitol's Lower West Terrace during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, refusing an officer's command at about 2:10 p.m. to move away from a doorway and thereby allowing the mob to push further inside; he held up a stun gun, sparked it, and passed it to another rioter who later tried to use it against an officer. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; a jury convicted him of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, along with related misdemeanors. He was sentenced on 11/8/2024 to 34 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, and a $2,000 fine.
