Former AUSA Has License Revoked

A disciplinary matter that we recently reported on has led to license revocation

VSB Docket No.: 24-000-131274

Ordered and effective March 22, 2024, the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board revoked Joshua Nathaniel DeBold’s license to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia based on his conviction for attempted assault on a law enforcement officer, a felony, in the Circuit Court for Arlington County, Virginia.

From our earlier post

The statement of facts attached to his guilty plea describes his assault on his wife by smashing his laptop on her while she was on the ground and conduct toward responding police officers.

He texted officers

I would suggest you put my thoughts that all of you a fuck yourself and if you want me you can come in here and get me, and I will go down in a glorious fiery blaze. I’m looking forward to it.

He had served as an Assistant United States Attorney. (Mike Frisch)
