Nicholas J. Perretta

Nicholas J. Perretta, 27, of Baden, Pennsylvania, traveled to Washington with friend Mitchell Vukich and spent about 25 minutes inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, during which the pair rifled through congressional papers found on the ground, with Vukich pocketing some before later discarding them in a trash can. He pleaded guilty to one charge, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, telling the pair "this wasn't Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and that their actions were "an assault on the American people," sentenced him on 1/5/2022 to 30 days of incarceration, a $10 special assessment, and $500 in restitution.
