A former leader of a white supremacist group convicted of rioting at political rallies in California and claimed he was fighting Antifa will be getting out of custody for time already served as he was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison.

Robert Paul Rundo, 34, was sentenced on Friday in Los Angeles by U.S. District Judge Josephine L. Staton, a Barack Obama appointee, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. Rundo pleaded guilty in September to one count of conspiracy to violate the federal Anti-Riot Act.
