A man from Connecticut has been sentenced to prison for his actions during the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol. He climbed on the backs and shoulders of rioters, swinging a pole at police officers who were guarding a tunnel.

Richard Markey, 38, was sentenced on Friday to 30 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta, a Barack Obama appointee, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. Markey pleaded guilty in August to a felony charge of assaulting officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon.
