The Cleveland, Tennessee, man convicted of pushing police barricades and throwing a flagpole like a spear toward officers defending the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but the trend in recent sentencings suggests he may get somewhat less than that.

He has been in federal custody for almost two years.

If convicted as charged, a Cleveland, Tennessee, man facing nine counts in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol could face up to 20 years in federal prison, but sentencing history in breach cases appears to show less than half that time is typical.
