Samuel Lazar

Samuel Lazar, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, dressed in camouflage tactical gear, ski goggles, and face paint, doused Capitol and D.C. Metro police officers with pepper spray as rioters pushed through a barricaded area during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, and used a bullhorn to rile up the crowd, shouting, "Let's get their guns!" He pleaded guilty to a felony count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon, and later cooperated with authorities, providing information in a murder case and other Capitol riot prosecutions. He was sentenced in a proceeding kept under seal to 30 months in prison, which he completed on 9/13/2023.
