Joshua Christopher Doolin

Joshua Christopher Doolin, of Lakeland, Florida, who had considered bringing a semi-automatic rifle to Washington before changing his mind, stole a Capitol Police riot shield around 3:45 p.m. during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, filmed himself declaring "I got a riot shield!" and then used it to charge at police with the mob before leaving the area still carrying it. He pleaded not guilty and, following a bench trial that concluded March 2023, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols found him guilty of felony civil disorder, theft of government property, entering and remaining in a restricted building, and disorderly conduct; he was found not guilty of theft in a federal enclave. He was sentenced on Aug. 16, 2023 to 18 months in prison and 36 months of probation, later reduced to a 15-month term on Aug. 14, 2024.
