Man gets 8 months in prison in 1st sentencing for felony in US Capitol riot U.S. Capitol Police via AP, File By: The Associated Press & Scripps National Posted at 12:52 AM, Jul 19, 2021 and last updated 2021-07-19 17:02:03-04 WASHINGTON, D.C. â A Florida man who breached the U.S. Senate chamber carrying a Trump campaign flag has received an eight-month prison term, the first resolution for a felony case in the Capitol insurrection. Paul Allard Hodgkins pleaded guilty last month to one count of obstructing an official proceeding and apologized Monday, saying he made a âfoolish decision.â Hodgkins' hearing in Washington will likely set a benchmark for punishment in similar cases â those who stand accused of participating in the riot and breaching the building, but not the organization of the conspiracy.
