A Florida Proud Boy who claimed he was trying to help police on Jan. 6, 2021, by throwing a rock at the Capitol doors was sentenced to five years in prison on Friday.

Anthony Sargent, 47, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a felony charge of civil disorder and six misdemeanor charges including engaging in physical violence in a restricted building and disorderly conduct.

The day of the Capitol attack, Sargent could be seen on video repeatedly throwing a rock at the Capitol doors and encouraging others to attack the building. Sargent also “physically separated a law enforcement officer” from a rioter and “prevented the officer from apprehending the rioter,” according to the Justice Department.

Law enforcement eventually identified Sargent through videos, his cell phone data, social media history and tattoos on his knuckles. Investigators also discovered Sargent’s affiliation with the neo-fascist gang the Proud Boys through a HuffPost video, charging documents show.

6. I'm wondering if that sentence after completing sentence can add additional time if they commit another federal crime?

That's like telling the fire department you're only trying to help by lighting all those matches at the petrol station.
