An 81-year-old Army veteran was sentenced to three years of probation on Tuesday for illegally breaching the US Capitol on January 6.
Gary Wickersham, one of the oldest of more than 700 people facing charges related to the Capitol riot, will also have to pay a $2,000 fine and $500 for damage done to the building.
"Mr. Wickersham, I appreciate what you've done here. I think you have led the way for others to recognize that the jig is up," said federal district Judge Royce Lamberth, 78, who noted that Wickersham is "the first defendant I've had that's older than me in quite some time."
