A couple from Quincy who were among the first to face criminal charges for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot were sentenced Tuesday to two years of probation.
Jason and Christina Gerding were arrested on Jan. 28, 2021, just a few weeks after the Capitol riot. They pleaded guilty last January. That’s when they admitted they had wrongly entered the Capitol, posed for photographs in the Rotunda, and spent 11 minutes in the building.
