William Joseph Pepe (35), of White Plains, NY was found guilty of felony and misdemeanor charges related to his egregious conduct during the 6 Jan 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
Aware that USDJ Timothy J. Kelly is a Republican and Donald Trump appointee, Pepe (probably upon advice of defense counsel) opted for a bench trial. He was convicted nevertheless and will be sentenced on 11 Mar 2025.
On 6 Jan 2021, Pepe met an army of approximately one hundred Proud Boys members in Washington, DC, near the Washington Monument at approximately 10:00 AM. Shortly after, the rabble marched toward the US Capitol building with Pepe as vanguard against police lines. At the Peace Circle, the mob violently disassembled and trampled the metal bike rack barriers blocking further entry into Capitol grounds.
After police reformed, Pepe encouraged the rioters, yelling into a camera Lets go! This is what we came for, yeah!
Officers deployed pepper spray and other crowd control measures. Pepe posted a selfie-style video in which he declared:
Yo, the cops pepper sprayed me and Hooks. Me and Hooks got fing maced. Storming that Capitol, baby!
Pepe made his way into the Capitol through the Senate Wing Door where he recorded and sent a video to fellow Proud Boys, stating We did it. (Photo: FBI)
The FBI arrested Pepe on 22 Jan 2021, in White Plains, NY.
In the 45 months since 6 Jan 2021, more than 1,532 suspects have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to attacking the US Capitol, including more than 571 seditionists charged with feloniously assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The FBI investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or visit tips.fbi.gov.
With this felony conviction, this 35-year-old Proud Boy threw his life and career away. He was an employee of the MTA in NY.

Hell, they gaffled up Sam Bankman Fried, tried him, and sentenced him in half that time.
