(TNS) — Close to two dozen people from Western Pennsylvania were among the hundreds charged in connection with the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Most have already been sentenced, many of them having already served their weeks or months in jail.

Others, though, received harsher sentences based on their level of involvement and the level of violence they wrought.

Perhaps most notable among them was Rachel Powell, whose outfit and actions at the Capitol earned her the nicknames “pink hat lady” and “bullhorn lady.” She reported for her 57-month federal prison sentence last week.

The mother of eight was caught on video joining a mob that was pushing back against bike rack barriers that Capitol Police used to try keep supporters of Donald Trump at bay while Congress voted to accept the state-certified electoral votes making Joe Biden the next president.

Later, she climbed through a broken window into the Capitol, emerging a short time later to call for rioters to “coordinate together” to “take this building.” She relayed detailed instructions about the layout of the room she’d seen.

She and others from Western Pennsylvania were among the more than 1,200 people charged in the insurrection. Almost 900 of them were convicted or pled guilty and have been sentenced collectively to more than 840 years in prison.

Biden recited those statistics during his speech near Valley Forge on Friday marking the third anniversary of the Capitol riots, and criticized Trump for calling them “patriots” and promising to pardon them if he were elected.

“Trump’s mob wasn’t a peaceful protest. It was a violent assault,” Biden said. “They were insurrectionists, not patriots. They weren’t there to uphold the Constitution; they were there to destroy the Constitution.”

Powell, of Mercer County, continued to earn notoriety in the years leading up to her trial. She was nearly held in contempt in April 2021 after she posted an image on social media of herself wearing a mesh COVID-19 facemask. As part of her pre-trial release, Powell had been ordered to wear a mask any time she was outside of her Sandy Creek home.

In September 2022, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ordered that she wear a GPS monitor after federal authorities alleged she’d repeatedly violated the conditions of her pre-trial release. The GPS, however, wouldn’t work in rural Mercer County, and Powell was confined to her home while she awaited trial.

She was found guilty in July and sentenced in October.

Pauline Bauer, of McKean County, was sentenced in May to more than two years in prison for her part in the riots. Authorities said she screamed death threats that were directed at then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, shouting for officers to produce the California Democrat so the mob could hang her.

Former Shaler substitute teacher Robert Morss was sentenced in May to 5 1/2 years in prison, followed by two more years of supervised release.

Federal authorities said Morss, a former Army Ranger, joined a crowd on the West Front of the Capitol grounds at about 2 p.m. that day. He was wearing a vest designed to hold body armor and carrying a knife sheath and scissors. Later, he moved to the front of the mob to try to help break through the police line. Authorities said he also snatched a police riot shield.

At one point, he yelled to fellow rioters, “Take a look around. We are going to take our Capitol back.” Later, he climbed through a broken window and passed a chair outside.

Jorden Mink, of Oakdale, was sentenced in June to 51 months in federal prison. Authorities said he used a baseball bat to shatter a Capitol window and climb inside. He then handed various pieces of furniture and other property to the mob outside. Video footage also showed him spitting on police and throwing things at them.

Three days later on June 9, a Ross woman was sentenced to two weeks in jail and two years of probation. Jennifer Heinl, who was married to a Shaler police officer at the time of the riots, told U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan that she’d gone into the Capitol building to take shelter from the chaos.

At least one Western Pennsylvania case is still pending — that of Jeremy Vorous, of Crawford County. He’s accused of posting updates to social media during the melee, including one that said, “Bout to rush in again diff door.” Video footage allegedly shows the Venango man shouting at police officers and calling them cowards.

In the complaint against Vorous, federal agents wrote that he called the FBI to report on himself four days after the riot and “said that he absolutely did not participate in the rioting or take anything.”

A jury trial is scheduled for July.

Kenneth Grayson, of Bridgeville, was sentenced in December 2022 to two months in prison for his role in the riots. He live-streamed a confrontation between police and rioters in the Capitol’s Crypt and Rotunda. He’d previously bragged to a friend that he would “storm the Capitol” if former President Trump told him to.

Mitchell Vukich and Nicholas Perretta, both of Beaver County, were sentenced in January 2022 to one month in prison. The two had texted each other about the Capitol attack in the aftermath, with Perretta telling his friend that he should have told the FBI to “[expletive] off” when he was questioned.

“No jail for us,” Perretta texted Vukich after he was questioned.

“Exactly,” Vukich replied. “I just can’t see us getting in trouble.”

Samuel Fox, of Westmoreland County, was sentenced in April 2022 to three years of probation and ordered to pay $3,000 in fees and restitution. The business owner wrote on Facebook a day after the riots that he’d “do it again, fight me.”

Julie Sizer, of Lawrence County, was sentenced in November 2021 to a year of probation. She’d initially told FBI agents she wasn’t at the Capitol but later apologized for lying. Her husband, Brian Sizer, was indicted in November 2022. Authorities said security footage showed the couple going inside through the Parliamentarian Door, where they took a selfie together. Brian Sizer pleaded guilty earlier this year and was sentenced to a year of probation.

Philip Vogel, of Lawrence County, was sentenced in August to one month in jail and one year of supervised relief. Debra Maimone, his co-defendant and co-owner of a McKees Rocks cleaning company, was sentenced to two years of supervised release.

And finally, Dale Shalvey and his wife, Tara Stottlemyer, who lived in Washington County in January 2021, both went to prison. Authorities said Stottlemyer threw an object at police on the west front of the Capitol. Later, she and her husband took photos of documents that were on desks in the Senate chambers, and Shalvey took and destroyed a letter from U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, to Vice President Mike Pence. Shalvey was sentenced to 41 months. His wife was sentenced to eight months.
