JUST IN: The former New York City police officer convicted of assaulting law enforcement during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
/ CBS News— The former New York Police Department officer convicted of assaulting law enforcement during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a federal judge ruled Thursday, the longest prison sentence so far imposed in the sprawling investigation. on multiple charges stemming from his membership in the mob, including assaulting officers and violent and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
In court documents filed ahead of Thursday's sentencing, the Justice Department argued Webster"spearheaded" a breach against the police line on the Capitol's west front and was responsible for"disgracing a democracy that he once fought honorably to protect and serve." Noting the defendant turned himself in to investigators shortly after the attack, Webster's defense attorney James Monroe conceded that his client's crimes were"unmistakably violent and reprehensible," but asked the court to consider his history as a father, officer, and Marine.
Webster's trial spanned four days and hinged on conflicting accounts of the altercation between Webster and District of Columbia police officer Noah Rathbun outside the Capitol building on Jan. 6.
