Jeffrey P. Sabol

Jeffrey P. Sabol, 53, of Kittredge, Colorado, brought a trauma kit, hunting knife, helmet, and zip ties to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot after attending a rally at the White House Ellipse, then joined a crowd trying to force through police barricades at the Capitol's west entrance, where he and two others assaulted an officer defending the building, punching him and pulling him down a set of stairs into the mob to be beaten further; in the following days, he tried to cover his involvement by telling friends to delete messages, microwaving his laptop, and dropping his phone into a body of water, and he was later found to have tried to flee to Switzerland. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; a stipulated bench trial held 8/18/2023 found him guilty on three felony counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding, robbery, and assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced on 3/21/2024 to 63 months of incarceration with credit for time served, 36 months of supervised release, a $300 special assessment, and $32,165.65 in restitution.
