"Jan. 6 Fugitive Proud Boy Receives 10-Year Sentence for Capitol Riot Role"

Christopher Worrell, a member of the Proud Boys, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, where he assaulted police with pepper spray. Worrell had fled house arrest before his original sentencing and allegedly faked a drug overdose upon recapture. Despite his rare form of lymphoma and fear for his life, the judge deemed his crimes deserving of a substantial sentence but will recommend that his time be served in a prison medical facility. Worrell's case has led to reforms in the system, and his sentencing adds to the growing list of Proud Boys members facing consequences for their actions during the Capitol attack.
