Indiana man sentenced in connection with the Jan. 6th Capitol riot


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.
