‘NCIS’ actor from Nevada arrested for breaching Capitol on Jan. 6
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The FBI arrested a Nevada actor who has appeared on several TV shows for his alleged involvement at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators reviewed.
Nolan Freeman, of Dayton, appeared in an episode of “NCIS” in 2019, documents said. He also acted in the show “The Rookie” and the movie “Devil’s Night.”
A grand jury subpoenaed airline records, finding Freeman traveled from Sacramento to Washington, DC, on Jan. 4, 2021, documents said. He returned to northern Nevada on Jan. 8.
The FBI traced Freeman’s phone, finding it inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, documents said. The FBI also located videos of Freeman from multiple cameras inside the building.
Freeman faces four charges, including disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, records said. The FBI arrested Freeman on March 19 in Carson City.
The FBI has arrested more than 1,300 people for crimes related to Jan. 6, the department said. More than 450 people face charges of assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The longest Jan. 6-related sentence a judge has imposed is 14 years for a man who threw a chair at a line of officers. Anyone with tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov.
Freeman is the seventh man from Nevada to face charges related to Jan. 6. Two men with Las Vegas ties were already serving prison sentences for their roles on Jan. 6.
Ronald “Ronnie” Sandlin, who was living in Las Vegas, began serving a 63-month prison sentence in December 2022. Nathaniel “Nate” DeGrave, also of Las Vegas, started his sentence last summer.
Last March, the FBI arrested Bradley Nelson, a North Las Vegas truck driver, for allegedly entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and then tweeting about it, saying in part, “I was in the capital [sic]… and all hell broke loose,” documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained said.
In December 2022, Brandon Dillard, 40, the man deemed the “Spider Nazi,” who climbed on the exterior of the U.S. Capitol building and then went inside through a broken window, pleaded guilty.
Last April, a judge sentenced a fifth man, Josiah Kenyon, of Winnemucca, to six years in prison for his involvement. Kenyon attacked officers and caused more than $40,000 in damage.
Earlier this year, the FBI arrested Mario Gonzalez, 51. Gonzalez obtained a fire extinguisher and sprayed it at the direction of police, documents said.
A judge released Freeman ahead of an April court date in DC.
