A Kingston, Washington man who used a megaphone to orchestrate a mob’s attack on police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Wednesday to more than seven years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said videos captured Taylor James Johnatakis playing a leadership role during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Johnatakis led other rioters on a charge against a police line, "barked commands" over his megaphone and shouted step-by-step directions for overpowering officers, the judge said."In any angry mob, there are leaders and there are followers. Mr. Johnatakis was a leader.
Johnatakis shouted "Go!" before he and other rioters shoved a metal barricade into a line of police officers. He also grabbed an officer’s arm."The crime is complete," Johnatakis posted on social media several hours after he left the Capitol.He was arrested in February 2021. He has been jailed since November 2023, when jurors convicted him of seven counts, including obstruction of the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress that certified Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
