FACT: A complaint against Lance Douglas White was filed September 13, 2023, and he was arrested September 18, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Source: DOJ Capitol Breach case record preserved in this archive. THE CHARGES, PLAINLY. Entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. All misdemeanors. Source: Wikipedia, List of cases of the January 6 United States Capitol attack (T-Z). FACT: Lance White pleaded guilty to a single count, entering a restricted building. Every other count was dismissed. Source: same. FACT: He was sentenced to 24 months of probation, 60 days of home detention, $500 in restitution, a $25 special assessment, and 60 hours of community service. He served no prison time. Source: same.
