A Virginia man who smashed windows in the Speaker’s Lobby moments before Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by a U.S. Capitol officer during the Jan. 6 riots was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Zachary Jordan Alam, 32, learned his fate this week. In addition to the prison time, he was also given 36 months of supervised release and ordered to pay $4,484 in restitution by U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, a Donald Trump appointee, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.
