Retired Firefighter Sentenced for Attacking Police During Capitol Riot

A retired firefighter was sentenced to over four years in prison for assaulting police officers with a fire extinguisher during the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
Robert Sanford, 55, struck two officers in the head with a fire extinguisher and threw other objects at police during the riot.
Sanford apologized to officers and claimed he got caught up in the mob mentality of the riot.
His sentence of four years and four months was less than what prosecutors recommended, citing his willingness to confront the beliefs that led him to the Capitol.
