A Tennessee man who authorities say came to Washington ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot prepared for violence in a car full of weapons and assaulted officers who were trying to defend the Capitol was sentenced Friday to more than five years behind bars.
Ronald Sandlin, 35, of Millington, Tenn., pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers.
Two other men were separately each sentenced Friday to four years in prison Friday for their actions connected to the riot.
