A judge has sentenced a Somerville man to a year in prison for storming the Capitol building during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.
In March, a federal jury found 30-year-old Noah Bacon guilty of disorderly and disruptive conduct, among other charges, in connection with the riot.
Prosecutors presented evidence during the trial that Bacon entered the Capitol around 2:15 p.m. that day and stayed for about 50 minutes, the U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. said in a press release.
During that time, prosecutors said, Bacon helped other rioters enter and go further into the building, even as he watched Capitol police try to secure these areas.
