Federal judge on Wednesday ordered a 44-month prison sentence for a South Carolina man who threw objects at police during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, then bragging online about his actions.

Nicholas Languerand pleaded guilty to the charges prior to the sentencing and has been in jail since April in his home state. He will receive credit for time served.

U.S. District Judge John Bates, in Washington, D.C., handed down the nearly four-year sentence, despite the prosecutor in the case recommending a 51-month sentence. Bates in his sentencing cited Langerand’s “extremely difficult and chaotic upbringing.”
