Nicholas James Brockhoff

Nicholas James Brockhoff, 21, of Covington, Kentucky, joined a mob on the Capitol's West Terrace during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, throwing an object at law enforcement officers at about 2:32 p.m. and discharging fire extinguishers at police from multiple locations. He took a Metropolitan Police officer's helmet and wore it like a trophy for the rest of the afternoon, including while climbing through a broken window into a Senate conference room. He pleaded guilty on Oct. 27, 2022 to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon — the sole charge remaining from an original seven under his plea deal — and was sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release.
