Joshua Calvin Hughes

Joshua Calvin Hughes, of East Helena, Montana, was among the first rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, breaking in through a window and advancing with his brother, Jerod Wade Hughes, toward the Senate chamber, where the pair confronted U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, who was alone defending the chamber and diverted the mob away from it. He pleaded guilty to a felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding, with other charges including destruction of government property dismissed. He was sentenced on 11/22/2022 to 38 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.
