As President Joseph Biden announces that he is granting clemency to nearly 1,500 people, the most in a single day, two Valley residents are waiting for Donald Trump to take office early next year to see if they’ll get out of prison early.

The President-elect told NBC News earlier this week that he is looking to pardon his supporters involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as soon as his first day in office.

Of the eight Valley residents convicted in connection with the Capitol riot, only two remain behind bars.

Forty-two-year-old Kenneth Thomas of East Liverpool, Ohio is serving a 58 month sentence for seven counts that included four separate counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder; and engaging in disorderly and disruptive conduct on Capitol grounds. 

Investigators say Thomas led assaults on five officers during an incursion at the Capitol, while Congress was certifying Joseph Biden as the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election.

Thomas, who received a longer prison term than any of the other eight local defendants, would complete his sentence in November 2027.

Rachel Powell, 44, of Sandy Lake, Mercer County Pennsylvania, is still serving a 57-month sentence.

Powell, often referred to as 'pink hat lady' or 'bullhorn lady', would complete her sentence in September 2027.

Of the six other people from the Valley convicted in connection with the Capitol breach, Michael Scott Lockwood of Southington completed a one-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a felony offense of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers.

Two people from New Castle, Phillip Vogel II and Debra Maimone were convicted of aiding and abetting the theft of U.S. property.

Vogel II was sentenced to 30 days in jail followed by one year of supervised release.  Maimone was sentenced to two years’ probation.  Each was ordered to make $1,806 restitution.

Brian and Julia Sizer of Ellwood City were both placed on probation for a year for entering the Capitol during the disturbance.

Stephen Ayers of Champion, who made national headlines when he testified before the House select committee hearing into the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol, was sentenced to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to entering the temporary residence of the president and disorderly conduct in the Capitol.

Ayer’s companion that day at the Capitol, Matthew Perna of Sharpsville, pleaded guilty to charges of witness tampering, disorderly conduct, and two counts of entering a restricted building or grounds. Perna took his own life before he could be sentenced.

Since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,200 people have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.
