Ex-Police Chief Sentenced to 11 Years for Bringing Weapons to Capitol on Jan. 6

Alan Hostetter, a former California police chief, has been sentenced to over 11 years in prison for his role in the January 6th Capitol siege. Hostetter was found guilty of multiple felony charges, including conspiracy, and was accused of bringing weapons and tactical gear to the Capitol. During his sentencing hearing, Hostetter continued to espouse conspiracy theories, claiming the election was "stolen" and that Jan. 6 was a "false flag" operation. The judge handed down one of the longest sentences in Jan. 6-related cases, citing the First Amendment does not give the right to obstruct or carry weapons into restricted areas. Hostetter plans to appeal his conviction.

Jan. 6 Rioters Sentenced: Praise for Ramaswamy, 11-Year Prison Terms

Former California police chief Alan Hostetter, convicted of a conspiracy charge in the U.S. Capitol riot, has been sentenced to over 11 years in prison after praising Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's suggestion that the attack could have been an "inside job." Hostetter, who carried a hatchet during the riot, falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen and referred to the riot as a "false flag" operation. Ramaswamy's mention of the conspiracy theory during a GOP debate has drawn attention, but FBI Director Christopher Wray has called it "ludicrous." Hostetter's conviction was for crossing police lines and being part of the riot, and he received the third-longest sentence among non-seditious conspiracy defendants.
