https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/capitol-rioter-idaho-gets-4-years-attacking-police-pipe-rcna18827Duke Edward Wilson, 68, of Nampa, Idaho, was part of the insurrection. During it, he attacked a cop with a blunt object (either a pole or a pipe, there are reports of both) and helped try to take a shield from a police officer.
US District Judge Royce Lamberth threw the book at him on March 4. He was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison, the maximum he could have been.
