Nathan Pelham, who was involved in the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack, has been sentenced to two years in prison after firing at law enforcement officers outside his Texas home, despite initially agreeing to surrender.
Pelham’s criminal history includes multiple charges, and he was found to be uncooperative and dishonest during the investigation.
He threatened to kill himself and opened fire on law enforcement when they were responding to a welfare check at his residence. (Trending: Greta Thunberg Caught on Video Going Full Anti-Semite)
Police found “several 9mm sized holes in the walls,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
“For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking,” prosecutors said.
“Pelham’s lies spanned multiple interviews and years and seem to be part of a pattern of behavior,” they said in a court filing. “Pelham’s endangerment of himself and others in the community, and his refusal to take responsibility suggests that a meaningful sentence is warranted.”
“Pelham does not meaningfully respect the law,” prosecutors said. “His standoff with police prior to arrest, and his repeated lies to law enforcement collectively suggest that Pelham will do or say what he believes is necessary for his own advantage.”
