Under the terms of a plea deal, federal prosecutors will drop the charge against Mostofsky that subjected him to the longest potential prison sentence: obstruction of an official proceeding. But Mostofsky pleaded guilty to a felony charge that made it unlawful to "obstruct, impede, and interfere with a law enforcement officer" during the commission of a civil disorder, a charge that comes with a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
