Jerry McKane Waynick

Jerry McKane Waynick, 19, of Charlotte, Tennessee, joined his father, Mark Waynick, in rushing a law enforcement perimeter on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot while wearing a tactical helmet, vest, and gloves with knuckle protectors, and tried to grab an officer's baton while the pair hurled a metal pole and a barrel at police. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; he was convicted at a bench trial of 11 felonies, including assaulting law enforcement with a dangerous weapon and civil disorder. U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly sentenced him on 11/26/2024 to 30 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.
