A former police officer, Nathaniel Tuck, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Tuck, a member of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group, was among the rioters who breached Capitol grounds during the violent mob incited by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors revealed that Tuck, along with other Proud Boys, forcibly entered the Capitol, confronting and berating police officers in the process. He was part of a group that openly discussed plans for violence and intended to confront law enforcement at the Capitol.
