Matthew Ryan Miller

Matthew Ryan Miller, 23, of Cooksville, Maryland, draped in a Confederate flag, threw a full beer can toward the Capitol and the police defending it as a mob gathered on the West Front during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, scaled walls to reach the building, and took part in repeated assaults on officers defending the Lower West Terrace Tunnel, including one attack using a fire extinguisher. He pleaded guilty on 2/9/2022 to two felony charges, obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers using a dangerous weapon, with other charges dismissed; though his plea deal called for a recommended range of 41 to 51 months, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss sentenced him on 5/23/2022 to 33 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, a $200 special assessment, and 100 hours of community service.
