John Thomas Gordon

John Thomas Gordon, 47, of Davis, West Virginia, was illegally on Capitol grounds shortly after 4 p.m. during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and, after officers deployed chemical irritants to disperse the mob near the North Door, yelled obscenities and repeatedly threw a heavy projectile at the inner doors at least four times as the crowd cheered, also kicking the doors in an attempt to force entry. He was arrested on July 8, 2022 and pleaded guilty on Oct. 28, 2022 to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced him on 3/13/2023 to six months in prison, 24 months of supervised release with the first six months on home confinement, and $2,000 in restitution.
