James Bonet

James Bonet, 29, of Glens Falls, New York, entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and made his way to the office of Sen. Jeff Merkley, where he recorded himself smoking a marijuana cigarette. He was identified after coworkers reported him to federal authorities. He pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a restricted building; the judge found he had not shown genuine remorse — citing a one-year-anniversary television interview in which Bonet described the riot as peaceful — and imposed 90 days in prison, double the 45 days prosecutors had requested, along with one year of supervised release, 200 hours of community service, and $525 in combined fines and restitution.
