Rodney Milstreed, a 56-year-old Maryland man who hurled a wooden club disguised as a flagpole at Capitol police officers on Jan. 6, was sentenced to five years in prison.
On the morning of Jan. 6, he took a train into Washington, then attended then-President Donald Trump's"Stop the Steal" rally near the White House and then followed the crowd of Trump supporters to the Capitol.
A video captured Milstreed retrieving a smoke grenade from the crowd of rioters and throwing it back at police across a barricade. "After the photographer stumbled to the bottom of the stairs, Milstreed shoved him and advanced toward him in a threatening fashion," prosecutors wrote.Milstreed used Facebook to update his friends on the riot in real time.
