An Army veteran from Louisiana who served time for killing an unarmed Iraqi man while overseas is going to prison for assaulting police guarding the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Edward Richmond Jr., 40, was sentenced on Monday by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, to 51 months — or more than four years — in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.

Richmond pleaded guilty in August to assaulting officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon.
