Ryan Taylor Nichols

Nichols and defendant Alex Harkrider stood on the ledge of a Capitol window near the Lower West Terrace. Nichols is accused of taking a cannister of OC spray from someone in the crowd and spraying it into the area where law enforcement and protesters were fighting.

Harkrider and Nichols are accused of pushing against officers in the spot where Roseanne Boyland was later killed. It is known police were beating civilians like Boyland during this time.

Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
