Steven Patrick Cook, 25, of Bethesda, Maryland, pushed and hit multiple police officers on the Capitol's West Plaza as rioters broke the police line on Jan. 6, 2021; at about 2:28 p.m. he pushed an MPD officer who was trying to reestablish the line, then grabbed the officer's baton and punched another officer, later returning to the Lower West Terrace Tunnel three separate times and spending over an hour assaulting officers there. He pleaded guilty to two felony counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, and U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden sentenced him on July 19, 2024 to 28 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.
