Joseph Julius Lapoint

Joseph Julius Lapoint, 43, of South Florida, entered the U.S. Capitol with his girlfriend, Nicole Marie Joyner, during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, climbed onto a windowsill in an office to pose for a photo, and spent about 20 minutes inside before leaving at 3:27 p.m.; a relative later tipped off the FBI after Lapoint posted videos to Facebook claiming he had been inside the Capitol. He pleaded guilty to two charges, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 10/16/2024 to 19 days of incarceration, 12 months of probation, a $20 special assessment, $500 in restitution, and 80 hours of community service.
