Enrique Tarrio was arrested in Washington, DC, just prior to the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.
The leader of the far-right Proud Boys group was sentenced to more than five months in jail on Monday for burning a Black Lives Matter banner that was torn down from a historic Black church in downtown Washington, DC and bringing two high-capacity firearm magazines into the nation’s capital days shortly before the January 6 riot. Enrique Tarrio told the court he was “profusely” sorry for his actions, calling them a “grave mistake.” “What I did was wrong,” Tarrio said during the hearing held via videoconference.
