A Texas couple who bragged online they “were the first group to storm the capitol” and “fought cops” during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack are going to prison for their roles in the insurrection.

Mark Middleton, 55, and his wife, Jalise Middleton, 54, learned their fates this week. Mark Middleton was sentenced to 30 months — or 2 1/2 years — in prison, and his wife received a 20-month sentence — more than a year and a half. They will also have to pay $2,000 in fines, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.
