Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill

Patrick McCaughey III, a 25-year-old from Connecticut, was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for nine offenses related to his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. McCaughey was convicted on seven felony charges, including assaulting law enforcement officers and obstruction of an official proceeding, and two misdemeanors. He pinned an officer into a doorframe with a stolen riot shield during the insurrection. The DOJ sought an almost 16-year sentence for McCaughey. Two other men, Tristan Stevens and David Mehaffie, were also convicted of crimes related to the insurrection.

Jan. 6 Capitol Rioters Sentenced to Prison for Assaulting Officers and Sending Reckless Messages.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by NBC News

Patrick McCaughey III, who crushed D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges with a police shield on Jan. 6, was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in federal prison. McCaughey was convicted on every count in September and was ordered detained after the verdict. Federal prosecutors sought a sentence of more than 15 years, while McCaughey's legal team said that his actions were "motivated by a misunderstanding as to the facts surrounding the 2020 election." McCaughey's sister wrote that her brother has been radicalized because of their father, who only played two TV channels in their home: “Fox News and Turner Classic Movies.”
