  • Nathan Donald Pelham, who was charged with misdemeanors for entering the Capitol on Jan. 6, shot at sheriff's deputies who came to his house.
  • Pelham had agreed to surrender to the FBI on the Capitol riot charges when contacted by an agent.
  • Pelham allegedly entered the Capitol wearing Proud Boys gear but denied affiliating with the extremist group.
  • Pelham was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, facing up to 15 years in prison on top of penalties for the misdemeanors.
  • Though over 1,000 have been arrested in the Capitol attack, Pelham's case is an outlier.
