Criminal History

In 2014, Tippett was convicted in federal court of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute Oxycodone. As a result, he served an 18-month period of incarceration, followed by two years of supervised release. His supervision was terminated early due to his successful participation in a drug court program designed to address his alcohol abuse.
Tippett also has six misdemeanor convictions: two for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, one for driving with a suspended or revoked license, one for disorderly conduct (he had originally been charged with assault for striking another individual), and one for violation of a protection order against his then wife, whom he physically assaulted. Especially relevant to the Jan 6th case, he was convicted of obstructing official business when he refused to follow the instructions of a police officer who instructed him to sit in the back of a police cruiser while they searched his vehicle (where a concealed firearm was found).
