Douglas Wyatt

Douglas Wyatt, 50, of Fallston, Maryland, assaulted officers with chemical spray on the Lower West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot while shouting obscenities and pulling an officer's flag away from him, and handed a long, heavy plank to his stepson, Christopher Therres, who used it to strike an officer in the head, leaving the officer with lingering dizziness reported by prosecutors years later; tipsters identified both men after Wyatt posted photos and videos of himself at the Capitol touting his actions. He pleaded guilty to one charge, assaulting certain officers using a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced on 2/2/2024 to 46 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, and a $100 special assessment.
