A Virginia man wearing a tricorn-style hat, gas mask, and body armor who clashed with officers guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is going to prison.

Micaiah Joseph, 34, was sentenced on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras, a Barack Obama appointee, to 37 months — or just over three years — in prison. He was also ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.
