The final man who was among a group of protestors that made their way into the Oregon State Capitol on Dec. 21 during a special session of the Oregon Legislature turned himself in over the weekend, according to a news release from Oregon State Police.
On Dec. 21, at about 8:30 a.m., a group of people attempted to enter and protest inside the Capitol, which is closed due to COVID-19 precautions. The Oregon State Capitol had set up televisions outside of the building for people to monitor the proceedings inside. OSP troopers had checked and secured the doors to the Capitol. A door on the northwest corner of the building was opened by a person exiting the building.Â
