Philip Edward Kramer

Philip Edward Kramer, of California, came to the U.S. Capitol equipped with a helmet, a walking cane, and a climbing rope with a Master Lock attached during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, and took a "do not enter" sign from inside the building, which he later told agents he threw away once home because he knew he shouldn't have taken it. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with charges involving a dangerous weapon and theft of government property dismissed. He was sentenced on 5/12/2022 to 30 days in jail, a $2,500 fine, $500 in restitution, a $10 special assessment, and 100 hours of community service.
