Thomas Andrew Casselman

Thomas Andrew Casselman, 30, of Walhalla, South Carolina, traveled to Washington for the Jan. 6, 2021 "Stop the Steal" rally, where he taunted Metropolitan Police Department officers on Capitol grounds with a copy of the U.S. Constitution, telling them they were "fighting the wrong fight," before spraying a canister of oleoresin capsicum directly at officers, impairing their vision and causing some to stagger backward. He pleaded guilty on March 21, 2024 to a felony count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, and U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich sentenced him to three years and four months in prison, three years of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.
