Nathan Donald Pelham

Nathan Donald Pelham, 40, who had an extensive prior criminal record including theft, evading arrest, burglary, and assault, entered the U.S. Capitol through a Senate-side door during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot while wearing goggles, a neck gaiter, and a hat bearing a logo associated with the Proud Boys, remaining inside for a little more than seven minutes. After an FBI agent called in April 2021 to arrange his surrender, local Texas deputies went to check on him following a welfare-check request from his father, and Pelham opened fire on them before ultimately surrendering to the FBI. He pleaded guilty to four misdemeanor counts of illegally entering the Capitol. He was sentenced on 7/10/2024 to 75 days of incarceration, 12 months of supervised release, $500 in restitution, and a $25 special assessment.
