CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A former Wyoming man who climbed through a broken window at the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to pay $1,500 in fines and restitution.

Andrew Galloway, 34, pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanor charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing inside the Capitol for entering the Capitol about 11 minutes after supporters of then-President Donald Trump were able to overpower Capitol police and break into the building.

Galloway spent about 10 minutes inside, according to prosecutors and his attorney.

He was sentenced Wednesday in federal court in Washington.

1. It is a damn shame that they are getting felony convictions on these folks so that

it would end their rights to possess firearms. An insurrection should carry a stronger penalty than jay walking.

2. Trump said 10 years

Give him 10 years

3. I've given up on the idea that our legal system would take any of this seriously.

So many of these are being treated like a white defendants in a bar fight or drunken destruction of property maybe.
They were trying to take over the country!

4. If they were black, they'd be facing years in prison.

Even if they couldn't prove the person was actually there.

A man with Cody ties has been charged in U.S. District Court for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.

According to the filing affidavit, Andrew Galloway was interviewed by FBI agents at his home outside of Cody at some point in the past year. Galloway is the listed agent for a Wyoming limited liability company Powderkeg Patriots Apparel, with an associated address in the South Fork. According to the Park County Assessor's Office, Galloway sold this Mountain Court property on June 14. He was a resident at the time of the Capitol riot and had purchased the property in January 2020.

Powderkeg Patriots was renewed as a Wyoming LLC in November, after Galloway had moved away to his current residency of Tennessee.

On Wednesday, Powderkeg Patriots made a post on Facebook that said, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are temporarily closed."
