Jacob Chansley, the most notable Jan. 6 protestor—he was decked out in horns and fur as he marched through the Capitol—pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing Congress back in September. “Unlawfully obstructing an official proceeding” is a felony.
“The United States respectfully recommends that the Court impose a sentence of 51 months’ imprisonment followed by three years supervised release, and $2,000 restitution,” a prosecutor’s memo stated.
The judge instead sentenced Chansley today to 41 months in the hoosegow.
