A Jan. 6 rioter and hunting guide from Colorado is going to prison after admitting to wrestling an officer to the ground for his baton and kicking the officer in the chest with his boot during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Patrick Montgomery, 51, was sentenced Thursday to 37 months — or more than three years — in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. He was convicted of assaulting officers and obstruction of an official proceeding, the latter charge dismissed following the Supreme Court’s decision in Fischer v. United States, prosecutors said.
Montgomery’s attorney, Roger Roots, reacted to his client’s sentence, telling The Colorado Sun in an email that he thought his client was “seriously over-sentenced.”
“The DOJ has sought the harshest sentences for political rioting in American history for Jan. 6 defendants,” Roots said. “Mr. Montgomery was sentenced to more than three years in prison for pulling on an officer’s baton.”
