A military veteran who was convicted of injuring a police officer’s hand during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has been sentenced to five years in prison.
This image from video from police-worn body camera and contained in the sentencing memorandum from the Justice Department, shows John George Todd III in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. John George Todd III declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell sentenced him. The judge said Todd, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, hasn't shown any remorse for his role in damaging the country's “fragile” democratic institutions.
After entering the Capitol, Todd repeatedly pushed against officers inside the Rotunda, ignored commands to leave and screamed profanities at police. Todd has been jailed since a jury in February convicted him of six counts, including obstruction of the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral
After his arrest, Todd repeatedly violated the terms of his pretrial release. He moved from Blue Springs, Missouri, to South Carolina to be in his sister’s care.
