His sister, Felicia Konold, was sentenced to 45 days in prison and two years of supervised release. She’s also been ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.

The siblings, who live in Arizona, were charged with conspiring with the Kansas City chapter of the Proud Boys to interfere with police during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

They originally pleaded not guilty but later pleaded guilty to obstruction of law enforcement and aiding and abetting in November 2023. Their other charges were dismissed.

William Chrestman, an Olathe man considered a leader of the local Proud Boys group, also pleaded guilty to charges in October 2023. In January, he was sentenced to more than four years in prison.
