William Jason Sywak

William Jason "Billy" Sywak, 28, of Arcade, New York, traveled from upstate New York to Washington, D.C. with his father, William Michael Sywak, arriving around 1 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021 for what the two described as a bonding trip; he entered the U.S. Capitol during the riot that followed, captured on surveillance footage despite his father initially telling investigators that neither of them had gone inside. He pleaded guilty to one charge, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, with other charges dismissed. Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced him on 6/9/2022 to 12 months of probation including 2 months of home confinement, $500 in restitution, a $10 special assessment, and 60 hours of community service.
