WASHINGTON — Derrick Evans, a Jan. 6 rioter who admitted in court that he committed a felony crime against police officers when he stormed the Capitol while yelling 'Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!,' lost a Republican primary race against Rep. Carol Miller in West Virginia, NBC News projects. Evans pleaded guilty to a felony count of obstructing or impeding officers during a civil disorder and was sentenced to three months in prison in June 2022.
'Every side, every angle! Oh my gosh!” Text messages sent by Evans also indicated he knew immediately that what he did was against the law. “Should I delete it?” Evans asked in a text message after he stormed the building. “So there’s no evidence of what I just did?” Evans' fundraising emails, with subject lines like 'I did time in Prison for Trump,' have highlighted his actions on Jan. 6 as a selling point for his candidacy.
