Marshall Neefe

Marshall Neefe, 25, of Newville, Pennsylvania, wrote to a co-defendant weeks before the Jan. 6, 2021 riot that he was "getting ready to storm D.C." and wanted to "crack some commie skulls," then made a wooden club he dubbed "The Commie Knocker" and carried it to the Capitol, where he helped hoist and push a large metal sign frame into a police line on the West Front before entering the building through the Rotunda and ignoring commands to leave; he later admitted he had written that he wanted to hurt officers and would be "bringing a gun next time." He pleaded guilty to two charges, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and a lesser included offense of assaulting officers, with other charges dismissed. He was sentenced on 9/23/2022 to 41 months of incarceration, three years of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.
