Man who parked weapons near Capitol on 1/6 gets prison

An Alabama man who parked a pickup truck filled with weapons and Molotov cocktail components near the U.S. Capitol on the day of last year’s riot was sentenced Friday to nearly four years in prison.

Coffman, 72, of Falkville, Alabama, said he never intended to hurt anybody or destroy any property. He said he drove to Washington alone "to try to discover just how true and secure was the (2020 presidential) election."

"If I had any idea that things would turn out like they did, I would have stayed home," he wrote in a handwritten letter to the judge.
