David Joseph Gietzen, who became a fugitive after being convicted of assaulting police officers during the Capitol riot, was sentenced on Tuesday to six years in prison. Gietzen struck an officer with a pole during the January 6, 2021, attack and later bragged about his participation in the riot. Despite expressing no regret for his actions, Gietzen claimed to have done the right thing due to his belief in baseless claims of a stolen election. After disregarding a court order to report to prison, Gietzen was eventually arrested at his mother’s home.
