'Jan. 6 Riot Sentencing: 'Zip Tie Guy' and Mother Receive Prison Terms'
Eric Munchel, known as the "Zip Tie Guy," and his mother, Lisa Eisenhart, have been sentenced to nearly five years and two and a half years in prison, respectively, for their involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. They were found guilty of conspiracy to commit obstruction, obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct, and carrying weapons on Capitol grounds. The mother-son duo wore tactical vests and carried zip tie-style handcuffs during the riot, with prosecutors arguing that they intended to intimidate lawmakers. Over 1,100 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol riot.
