Former police officer and Proud Boys member sentenced for Jan. 6 Capitol storming
A federal judge sentenced an ex-Florida police officer and Proud Boys member to 14 months in prison for his role in storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Nathaniel Tuck, 32, pleaded guilty in September to a felony charge of obstructing law enforcement during a civil disorder and a misdemeanor charge of entering and remaining in a restricted area.
“Nathaniel Tuck prepared for and took these actions as part of a hand-selected group of Proud Boys members that openly discussed its plans for violence at the Capitol and intention to confront police who might try to stand in their way,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
The Apopka, Florida, native traveled with his father Kevin, 52, who was employed as a police officer at the time of the riot, to Washington, D.C.
“Nathaniel Tuck was one of the few rioters who successfully entered the building through the Senate Carriage Door when police were attempting to eject rioters out of the building through that door,” prosecutors wrote. “Nathaniel Tuck spent most of the next hour inside the Capitol building, where he berated officers, shouting at them and calling them ‘communists.’”
Upon entering the building, Tuck took a photo with fellow Proud Boy members. His defense attorney, William Shipley, said he was nonviolent.
“He primarily remained a singular member of a much larger group of individuals, and mostly observed the conduct of others,” Shipley wrote.
Tuck was employed as a police officer in Longwood, Florida, and then in Apopka spanning from 2012 to 2020. He allegedly told a federal probation officer that he quit his police job in October 2020 “because of the whole George Floyd thing.”
His father will be sentenced next Tuesday.
They are just a couple out of more than 1,500 people indicted on charges related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised that he will pardon those criminally charged in the riots once he returns to office.
