Richard Bryan Watrous

Richard Bryan Watrous, 59, of Cortland, New York, traveled to Washington, D.C. and told investigators he headed to the U.S. Capitol as soon as Trump finished addressing the Jan. 6, 2021 rally, entering the building wearing a red "Trump" baseball hat during the riot and remaining inside for about five minutes before leaving to sit on the Capitol steps; he said he then went back in after meeting a woman filming for YouTube who wanted to enter, briefly reached the Rotunda, and left a second time for his hotel. He pleaded guilty to one charge, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with other charges, including entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct, dismissed. He was sentenced on 4/21/2022 to 14 days of intermittent incarceration, 36 months of probation including 60 days of home confinement, a $2,500 fine, $500 in restitution, and a $10 special assessment.
