Former mixed martial arts fighter Scott Fairlamb of New Jersey was sentenced Wednesday to 41 months in prison for assaulting a police officer during the attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The sentence Fairlamb received is the longest to date for any of the hundreds of people criminally charged in connection with the riot. The riot primarily disrupted the confirmation of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory and left five people dead.
QAnon shaman Jacob Chansley, viewed as the most notorious face of the Jan. 6 riot, is being sought by federal prosecutors for an even longer prison term of 51 months.
