Riley Williams of Mechanicsburg had been accused of helping to steal Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the January 2021 chaos.

Riley Williams, 24, will also serve three years of supervised release for what federal Judge Amy Jackson said was clearly outrageous and intentional behavior.

The sentence came after two hours of discussion in court about federal sentencing guidelines weighing her convictions with the details of the evidence admitted at trial.of six crimes: civil disorder; resisting or impeding certain officers; entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a capitol building; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a capitol building.

. However, the District of Columbia jury could not agree on those charges, and prosecutors moved to dismiss them. Judge Jackson said she did not think Williams’ request for a year and a day in prison was a serious request, but she didn’t go as far as to support the government’s request that Williams be sentenced to seven years.But Jackson did not buy it.Williams apologized to the court and“It was humbling and humiliating,” Williams said. “I am ready to put all this behind me and finally start my life.”
