Madison Pettit

Madison Pettit, of Swanton, Ohio, traveled with co-defendant Gabriel Burress and two other acquaintances to the Jan. 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally, then stood in a large crowd near the East Rotunda Doors during the riot that followed and entered the U.S. Capitol, walking through the Rotunda and photographing the scene; when U.S. Capitol Police formed a line to clear rioters, Pettit and Burress observed but did not engage and left voluntarily before the line reached them. She pleaded guilty to one charge, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with other charges dismissed. She was sentenced to 18 months of probation, 45 days of home detention or location monitoring, 60 hours of community service, a $10 special assessment, and $500 in restitution.
