A Baltimore man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and pushing police officers, the Department of Justice announced<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n According to prosecutors<\/a>, Narayana Rheiner pushed his way to the front of the crowd of rioters on Jan. 6 and encouraged the crowd to rush police lines at the Capitol Building. He then grabbed a police riot shield, causing an officer to fall down a flight of stairs, and later entered the Capitol Building.<\/p>\n When confronted by a police officer and told to go a different direction, Rheiner said, \u201cIt is the right way. We got to send a message,\u201d prosecutors claim.<\/p>\n Rheiner was arrested after being recognized in a YouTube<\/a> video of the Capitol riot, the FBI said.<\/p>\n He pleaded guilty to interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder last November. He was also sentenced to three years probation and levied a $2,000 fine.<\/p>\n More than 1,100 people have been arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 riots, including over 350 for assaulting police, the Justice Department said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
