DALLAS — A Fort Worth man who claimed to work for Murder the Media News was sentenced to four years in federal prison for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Nicholas DeCarlo, 32, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in September to a count of obstruction of an official proceeding. DeCarlo must serve three years of supervised release following his sentence and pay a $2,500 fine and $2,000 in restitution to the agency that manages the Capitol grounds, according to court records.
DeCarlo had faced up to 20 years behind bars. Prosecutors dismissed five other charges against him: conspiracy, destruction of government property, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, entering and remaining in a restricted building, and theft of government property. According to plea papers, DeCarlo crossed onto Capitol grounds with Nick Ochs, the founder of the Hawaii chapter of the Proud Boys. As they approached the Capitol building, it was clear to DeCarlo that access was restricted to that area, court documents say.
When DeCarlo encountered a police line attempting to keep rioters away, he threw a smoke bomb at police and told Ochs he “neglected to ‘pull the pin,’ ” according to plea papers.
