He was arrested in July 2021, initially pleaded not guilty, then entered a plea agreement in November 2021 to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building; he lost his job in financial services and his volunteer seat on his township's recreation board as a result, and began delivering pizza part time. He was sentenced on 2/15/2022 to 2 years of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution.
