A Mississippi man who was among the first rioters to reach the Capitol Rotunda on Jan. 6 has been sentenced to 78 months in federal prison for attacking police officers who protect America, the Justice Department said.

On Jan. 6, McGrew was among the initial wave of rioters entering the Capitol at 2:45 a.m., the DOJ reported. “At approximately 3:05 p.m., he pushed an officer and hit another officer who was standing in front of him.
