Man photographed 'chugging wine' in the US Capitol on January 6 sentenced to jail time
CNN
A Navy veteran and possible congressional candidate who drank a bottle of wine and stole a book on Senate procedure during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol was sentenced on Monday to serve 90 days in jail.
Jason Riddle of New Hampshire had pleaded guilty to theft of government property and illegally protesting inside the Capitol -- both misdemeanors. Riddle was also sentenced to three years of probation and will pay more than $750 in restitution for the stolen book and damage done to the building during the riot.
"He was witnessing violence in front of him while he was chugging wine and celebrating," said Judge Dabney Friedrich as she handed down the sentence. "It is hard to fathom, given Mr. Riddle's foreign military service and time in the Navy reserves" that he would "celebrate this attack."
