Jan. 6 rioter receives record-breaking 14-year sentence for attacking police.

Peter Schwartz, a man who attacked police with pepper spray and a chair during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, was sentenced to 14 years and two months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, the longest sentence yet for a Capitol rioter. Schwartz was convicted of assault and other felony charges and has an extensive criminal history. His defense team blamed former President Trump for misleading Schwartz, but the judge did not believe Schwartz felt remorse for his actions. Schwartz's wife, who also participated in the riot, was sentenced to two years in prison last month.
