Joseph Martin Pastucci, 50, traveled with co-defendant Jeanette Mangia from New Cumberland, Pennsylvania to the Jan. 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally, then entered the U.S. Capitol through the Senate Wing door during the riot that followed and made his way into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office suite; after being ejected from the building and watching Mangia also removed, he shoved a U.S. Capitol Police officer in the chest and shoulder. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; found guilty in a stipulated bench trial on 4/26/2024 of nearly all counts, the court on 9/30/2024 vacated that verdict, and he then pleaded guilty to one charge, assaulting officers.
