WASHINGTON – A federal judge sentenced a Shelbyville man to five years in federal prison for his actions at the Capitol riot last January.
Mark Mazza pleaded guilty in June to carrying a firearm and assaulting a police officer on Capitol grounds January 6, 2021.
Mazza was accused of carrying a Taurus revolver inside the U.S. Capitol, helping other rioters enter the building, and assaulting an officer.
Video showed Mazza taking a baton from an officer and swinging it at police.
Federal agents claimed Mazza dropped his loaded revolver on Capitol grounds and later filed a false police report claiming it was stolen.
