Mike Nearman pleads guilty to official misconduct
Mike Nearman
Former Oregon State Representative Michael Nearman pled guilty July 27 to the crime of Official Misconduct in the First Degree, and was sentenced by Judge Cheryl Pellegrini in Marion County Circuit Court.
The conviction stems from an incident that occurred on Dec. 21, 2020, when Nearman, then a member of the Oregon House of Representatives, intentionally allowed protesters into the Oregon State Capitol at a time when the building was closed.
Once inside, the protesters, some of whom were armed, fought with law enforcement officers and caused damage to the building.
According to a press release from the Marion County District Attorney s office, Nearman’s stipulated sentence includes 18 months of bench probation and orders him to perform 80 hours of community service work, pay $2,700 in restitution for the damage caused to the building, and bans him from the Oregon State Capitol and its grounds.
As a result of the
negotiated
plea agreement, Nearman was sentenced to 18 months probation, during which he will need to complete 80 hours of community service and is banned from the Capitol building and grounds.
He also will pay $200 in court fees and $2,700 to Oregon Legislative Administration for damages done
to the Capitol during the Dec. 21 riot. The count of criminal trespass
in the second degree was dismissed. There aren t a lot of conditions on this, Marion County Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Pellegrini said.
The maximum penalty for this misdemeanor is one year in jail, a $6,250 fine or both.
Nearman was soft-spoken while answering Pellegrini s questions before sentencing.
