Kentucky Man Sentenced to 14 Years and 2 Months in Prison for Role in Capitol Riot, Longest Sentence Yet for a Capitol Riotser

Peter Schwartz, a Kentucky man with 38 prior convictions, was sentenced to 14 years and two months in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the longest sentence yet for a Capitol rioter. Schwartz pleaded guilty to five counts, including assaulting police officers and obstruction of an official proceeding, and expressed regret for the damage caused by the riot. His sentence surpasses the previous longest sentence of 10 years given to a retired NYPD officer for assaulting a police officer outside the Capitol.
