Christopher Brian Roe

Christopher Brian Roe traveled from Kansas to the Jan. 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally carrying a metal-tipped pitchfork, a six-inch knife, duct tape, and zip ties, then went to the U.S. Capitol's West Plaza around 1:25 p.m. still carrying the pitchfork, where he tried to pull a bicycle-rack barricade away from officers and into the crowd and shoved a law enforcement officer; he entered the Capitol through the Upper West Terrace Door at 2:38 p.m., made his way toward the House Chamber and remained inside for about 15 minutes before officers forced him out, then reentered through the East Rotunda Doors with another mob and clashed with police again. He pleaded guilty to three felony charges of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 3/5/2024 to 70 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, and a $300 special assessment.
