Ronald Sandlin

Ronald Sandlin, an internet marketer, began planning with Nathaniel DeGrave and Josiah Colt in late December 2020 to interfere with the transfer of presidential power, posting on Facebook that he was organizing a caravan to Washington, D.C.; the three brought gas masks, helmets, protective gear, a Glock pistol, a pocket pistol, knives, a slingshot, a stun gun, an expandable baton, walkie-talkies, and bear mace to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, where Sandlin filmed himself grabbing an officer's helmet, yelled at and shoved officers, helped force open a door into the Senate Chamber, and livestreamed himself smoking marijuana once inside. He pleaded guilty to two charges, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, with other charges, including civil disorder, dismissed. He was sentenced on 12/9/2022 to 63 months of incarceration, 36 months of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution, a $200 special assessment, and a $20,000 fine.
