Texas Woman Sentenced in Capitol Breach Case

A Texas woman has been found guilty and sentenced in a Capitol Breach case in Washington D.C. Micki Larson-Olson, 53, of Abilene, Texas, was found guilty by a jury on September 29, 2022 of unlawful entry onto public property, a District of Columbia offense.

Larson-Olson was sentenced to a 180-day jail term by the Honorable Michael O’Keefe. According to the government’s evidence, on the afternoon of January 6, 2021, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department responded to the west side of the Capitol to assist the U.S. Capitol Police in clearing individuals from the grounds.

The officers remained there for hours, clearing an enormous crowd illegally gathered on the grounds. At approximately 5:15 p.m., officers were clearing individuals from the scaffolding on the west side of the Capitol. They approached Larson-Olson, who was dressed in a Captain America costume and holding two flags in the air. Officers repeatedly asked her to leave. She refused, lowering herself down and holding onto the scaffolding with her arms and legs, actively resisting the officers’ orders.

During the incident, she swore at officers and called them “traitors.” It took six officers who were forced to physically carry her from the scaffolding area as she screamed at and fought them.

The case was prosecuted by the Superior Court Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. This was the first trial of a Jan. 6-related case in the Superior Court.
