Convicted of
Ronald Colton McAbee, an off-duty Williamson County, Tennessee sheriff's deputy on medical leave at the time, traveled to Washington, D.C. wearing a bulletproof vest with a "Sheriff" patch and gloves with reinforced knuckles, then during a melee on the Capitol's Lower West Terrace during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, dragged an officer away from a police line and punched another officer who tried to intervene. He pleaded guilty to two charges, including a felony assault count, before a federal jury convicted him of five additional charges following a trial. Though prosecutors recommended more than 12 years in prison, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced him on 2/29/2024 to 70 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, a $610 special assessment, and $32,165.65 in restitution.
