Dale Huttle, a 73-year-old man from Indiana who marched on the U.S. Capitol while carrying a flagpole bearing an upside-down American flag and then used that pole to jab into the bodies of police defending the Capitol on Jan. 6 will spend the next 30 months of his life in prison.

The sentence was announced by the Justice Department on Tuesday. Huttle pleaded guilty to a single felony count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon and causing serious bodily injury last December. In addition to his 30 month sentence, Huttle will be placed on supervised probation for two years and is ordered to pay a little over $3,600 in restitution. As Law&Crime recently reported, damage to the Capitol is nowhere near being repaid in full three years and hundreds of orders for restitution payments later; it is mostly U.S. taxpayers who are on the hook for roughly $3 million in estimated damages.
