President Trump pardons 2 Hawaii men involved in Jan. 6 Capitol riot
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – After reclaiming presidency on Monday, President Trump pardoned over 1,000 of his supporters involved in the attacks on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Two Hawaii men were among those pardoned.
Former Proud Boys Hawaii Leader Nick Ochs was arrested by the FBI the day after the insurrection, upon landing at Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
In 2022, Ochs was sentenced to four years in prison for obstructing an official proceeding and throwing a smoke grenade with another co-defendant.
U.S. Army soldier Alexander Poplin, of Wahiawa, was also arrested at Schofield Barracks in September last year for allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer with a flagpole during the riot.
