Christopher John Worrell

Christopher John Worrell, 49, a Proud Boy from Naples, Florida, wore a tactical vest and carried two canisters of pepper gel to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, spraying law enforcement officers defending the north side of the building as they held back a large group of rioters; after his conviction, he fled and evaded authorities for days before FBI agents found him unconscious while attempting to covertly return to his Naples home and provided him medical attention. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; following a five-day bench trial, he was found guilty on all seven counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced on 1/4/2024 to 120 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, and a $610 special assessment.
