California Jan. 6 defendant sentenced to 21 months in prison, apologizes ‘to the nation’

WASHINGTON — Tommy Frederick Allan will serve 21 months in federal prison in connection with his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, a federal judge ruled on Thursday.

He will also pay a $100 fine and $2,000 to the Architect of the Capitol after he scaled its walls on a rope and stole an American flag and documents from the Senate chamber.

Allan, 54, had pleaded guilty in August to one count of obstructing an official proceeding: the congressional tally of Electoral College votes to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory over Donald Trump.
