Biography

Joshua Wollstein was arrested during Seattle's May Day protest on May 1, 2013 and charged with felony riot. A contemporary Seattle Weekly report documents his appearance in a King County jailhouse courtroom on May 6. His final disposition, exact jail admission and actual release date remain unverified.

Chronology correction, October 12, 2026: Seattle Weekly's May 6, 2013 report places this May Day arrest on the preceding Wednesday, May 1, 2013. The former 2012 arrest year and pre-arrest 2013 sentencing, admission and release dates are superseded. Exact admission and release remain unknown; no continuous custody duration is inferred from the hearing. The legacy conviction and plea fields are not independently verified by this report and remain under review. Its protest image does not individually identify Wollstein, so no photograph is attached.
