Federal authorities arrest Joshua R. Lollar in a Texas Jan. 6 case
Federal authorities arrested Joshua R. Lollar, then 39, of Spring, Texas, in a Jan. 6 Capitol breach case. The case involved assaulting or impeding officers, civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, entering restricted grounds, disorderly conduct, and parading or picketing in a Capitol building. NPR records that Lollar later pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, and the other charges were dismissed. He was sentenced on May 22, 2023 to 30 months in prison with credit for time served and 12 months of supervised release, and he later received a full pardon on January 20, 2025.
