Jan. 6 Capitol rioter sentenced to over 7 years for assaulting police officer.

Patrick McCaughey III, a 25-year-old Connecticut man, was sentenced to over 7 years in prison for his role in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, where he used a stolen riot shield to pin a DC Metropolitan Police officer to a metal doorway. McCaughey was convicted of seven felonies and two misdemeanors, and the judge described him as a "poster child of all that was dangerous and appalling" about the riot. McCaughey apologized for his actions, calling them "monumentally stupid." The sentence is the second-longest of any individual involved in the Capitol riot.

Capitol rioter sentenced to 7+ years for assaulting police officer with shield

Patrick McCaughey III, who used a stolen riot shield to crush a police officer in a doorframe during the U.S. Capitol insurrection, has been sentenced to seven years and six months in prison followed by two years of supervised release. McCaughey expressed shame for joining the mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters who “violated” the Capitol. McCaughey’s 90-month sentence matches the second longest prison sentence so far for a Capitol riot defendant. The judge convicted McCaughey of nine counts, including felony assault charges, after hearing trial testimony without a jury in September.
