Odin Meacham

Odin Meacham, 30, of Myton, Utah, drove to Washington, D.C. for events related to the 2020 election and, during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, went to the Capitol's West Plaza just after 2 p.m. and fought with police, striking one officer with a wooden flagpole hard enough to snap it in half and throwing a metal pole at another officer. He pleaded not guilty to all charges; following a bench trial, he was found guilty on 6/18/2024 of seven felony counts, including civil disorder and two counts of assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon; his attorneys argued for leniency, saying he had seen Trump as a replacement father figure. He was sentenced on 11/5/2024 to 72 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release, a $710 special assessment, and $2,000 in restitution.
