While numerous rioters have faced charges, convictions, and sentences for their involvement in the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol, Samuel Lazar’s case appears to have been resolved discreetly.

It has been kept sealed, with no explanation provided, even after his release from prison.

Samuel Lazar, aged 37, hailing from Ephrata, Pennsylvania, was apprehended in July 2021 on allegations that he participated in the events of January 6, 2021, at the Capitol, the Associated Press reported.

He was reportedly dressed in tactical gear and protective goggles, and it’s alleged that he deployed chemical spray on officers who were struggling to repel the agitated Donald Trump supporters.

Curiously, there is no publicly accessible record indicating a conviction or sentence in Lazar’s court docket.

However, the Bureau of Prisons has informed The Associated Press that Lazar was recently released from federal custody after serving a sentence related to assaulting or resisting a federal officer.

According to the Bureau of Prisons, Lazar received a 30-month prison sentence on March 17 in Washington’s federal court, although there is no publicly available record of such a hearing.

Lazar had been incarcerated since July 2021.
