U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols of the District of Columbia found Joshua Doolin of Polk City guilty Wednesday on four counts following a seven-day bench trial held in Washington, D.C. Doolin had waived his right to a jury trial.
Doolin was charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and trespassing on restricted grounds; and theft of government property. Nichols found Doolin not guilty of a charge of theft of a canister containing chemical irritant, according to a Department of Justice spokesperson.
In his original indictment, Doolin faced only misdemeanor charges. Prosecutors added the felony charge — assaulting, resisting or impeding officers — in a second indictment filed in July 2022.
