An image filed in court clearly shows the group’s insignia and identification. Neither of the Konolds is in custody as they await trial. But one of their Tucson neighbors is behind bars waiting for his. James Burton McGrew hit a law en- forcement officer and lunged for his baton, according to body camera footage from the January 6 riot and court documents.

Not every defendant connected to the Valley is a resident here. A South Carolina man connected to the insurrection was nabbed in Arizona. He’s one of the few who has been sen- tenced so far. Andrew Hatley was arrested in mid- January in Eloy, just southeast of Casa Grande. In March, he pleaded not guilty to the four charges against him, including violent entry and disruptive conduct. Then, in September, he accepted a plea deal and pled guilty to one count of parading inside a capitol building. In court records, prosecutors claim Hatley lied on Facebook, saying he hadn’t left South Carolina and that “someone who looks like me” was participating in the attack on the Capitol. The FBI used geodata from a mobile phone application to confirm he was in Washington, D.C., during the riots, according to court docu- ments. The 34-year-old was sentenced to three years’ probation on December 16. The court considered that Hatley, who weighs over 300 pounds and was unarmed, was not fit to cause significant damage, and that his role in the insurrection was “mini- mal,” according to a report from The State, a Columbia, South Carolina, newspaper.

Her sentencing has not been scheduled yet. Austfjord was charged with a curfew vi- olation, which was later dropped. A year has passed since the violence at the Capitol thrust into the spotlight these Arizona rioters and the lawmakers who spurred them. Many have gotten on with their lives. Others are contemplating their fate and their feelings toward the federal government. Meanwhile, other investigations into the riot continue.
