A 61 year old Athol, Massachusetts man has been sentenced to more than five years in prison for his role in the Capitol Riot.
Vincent Gillespie was charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
According to the charging documents:
"From at least 4:11 p.m. to at least 4:25 p.m., GILLESPIE was among the rioters on the
Lower West Terrance of the U.S. Capitol who engaged in pushing, shoving, yelling, and fighting
with law enforcement officers. Surveillance video depicts GILLESPIE wearing the Berkshire
Nautilus sweatshirt that generated the original tip."
Gillespie was found guilty back in December of 2022 after a jury trial. In addition to the prison time, he will pay a 25 thousand dollar fine and make restitution of 2 thousand dollars as well as three years of supervised release.
