Douglas K. Wangler
January 6 defendant
Douglas K. Wangler is from downstate Illinois, near Danville. Here are the receipts. He walked into the Capitol with the crowd, was inside about 20 minutes, took a few photos, and left. A federal judge agreed he was no planner and no aggressor. (FACT) He pleaded guilty to a single Class B misdemeanor — parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building — and was sentenced to probation. No violence was ever charged. (FACT) That is the whole of it. A man from a small Illinois town who walked in, walked out, and answered for a misdemeanor. The court record, kept plainly: Case 1:21-cr-365 — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charged by information May 14, 2021; pleaded guilty to count 4 on Sept 21, 2021; sentenced Dec 16, 2021 to two years of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
