Two supporters of President Donald Trump arrested after driving a Hummer with guns and ammunition to a Philadelphia vote-counting site in November 2020 have been spared additional jail time.
Joshua Macias, 44, and Antonio Lamotta, 63, were each sentenced Wednesday to 11½ to 23 months but placed on immediate parole followed by at least two years of probation, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Prosecutors had sought sentences of at least three years.
The two were convicted last fall of weapons counts but acquitted of election interference. Prosecutors argued that Macias, co-founder of Vets for Trump, and LaMotta planned a mass shooting as the presidential election remained uncertain, but a judge convicted them only of bringing weapons to the city without a permit.
