South Carolina couple going to prison for storming Capitol on Jan. 6

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina husband and wife who believed the 2020 presidential election was stolen and who smoked a joint inside the Capitol Rotunda on Jan. 6, 2021, were each sentenced to prison Tuesday.

John Getsinger Jr. and his wife, Stacie Ann Hargis-Getsinger, both of Hanahan in Berkeley County, were sentenced in a Washington courtroom Tuesday to serve 60 days each in prison.

So as not to disrupt their home, U.S. Judge Emmet Sullivan said the couple can serve their two-month sentences sequentially. John Getsinger will report to prison by Sept. 15, and Stacie Ann Hargis-Getsinger will report by Feb. 15.
