A Colorado man, Jeffrey Sabol, has been sentenced to more than five years in prison for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Sabol, 54, admitted to ripping a baton from an officer's hands and pulling another officer into a mob outside the Capitol, allowing fellow rioters to assault the officer with weapons.
During the sentencing, Sabol expressed remorse and acknowledged his guilt, stating that he would have apologized directly to the officers he attacked if given the opportunity. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras handed down a sentence of five years and three months, with credit for the time Sabol has already spent in jail since his arrest.
