A man from Woodland Park was sentenced to prison on Friday for his actions during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
U.S. District Court Judge Trevor N. McFadden sentenced Robert Gieswein, 26, to 48 years in prison for two counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, plus 36 months of supervised release and $2,000 in restitution to the Architect of the Capitol, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
"While in the West Plaza, Gieswein was stopped by a man with a microphone and asked how he was doing," the U.S. Department of Justice said."In response, Gieswein stated, among other things, that 'this' was 'crazy,' and that he 'would die for this.' Asked what the solution was to 'this right here,' Gieswein stated, to 'execute these fascists,'" according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
He was one of the first rioters to reach the façade of the building and saw the window next to the Senate Wing Door get breached around 2:13 p.m. He entered through that window. Around 2:29 p.m., he sprayed the aerosol at another group of officers.
