Lynnwood roommates sentenced for roles in Jan. 6 riot

LYNNWOOD — A Lynnwood man was sentenced Thursday to two years in prison for being one of the “busiest” people at the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, assaulting police officers in the process.

Tucker Weston and his roommate, Jesse Watson, traveled from Lynnwood to Washington, D.C., to participate in the “Stop the Steal” rally, spurred by debunked claims about the 2020 election.

In July 2023, Weston, 35, pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer and civil disorder. As part of his plea, Weston agreed to an interview with the FBI. He “minimized his behavior” on Jan. 6, describing the atmosphere as “enjoyable and comical,” U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves wrote in court documents.

“While not the most violent or destructive rioter at the Capitol that day,” Graves wrote, “Weston was certainly one of the busiest.”
