News Alert: January 6 rioter gets nearly four years in prison for assaulting police officer
  An Ohio man was sentenced to 46 months in jail for assaulting a police officer with a dangerous weapon in a tunnel at the US Capitol on January 6. During the Capitol riot, Devlyn Thompson helped move police shields up a line of rioters in the tunnel, attempted to throw a speaker at police officers -- which ended up hitting and injuring a fellow rioter -- and eventually hit a police officer in the hand with a metal baton, according to court documents. Thompson, who spent nearly three hours on January 6 at the grounds of the Capitol, pleaded guilty earlier this year.
