A Texas militia member has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for attacking police officers at the U.S. Capitol, seriously injuring one of them during a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
This image from U.S. Capitol Police security video and contained in the government's sentencing memorandum for Donald Hazard, circled in red by source, shows him in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. Donald Hazard was sentenced Friday, May 19, 2023, to nearly five years in prison for attacking police officers at the U.S. Capitol, seriously injuring one of them during a mob's attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
The sentence matched what federal prosecutors had recommended for Hazard, who pleaded guilty to an assault charge in February. Hazard also fell on another Capitol police officer whose head hit the concrete. Hazard and Denney, both wielding what appeared to be canisters of pepper spray, confronted other officers on the west side of the Capitol.“When he reached the exterior steps, Hazard raised his arms in a gesture of victory,” Kearney wrote.
“His conduct was more consistent with impeding officers and his impeding led to bodily injuries of the officers,” Akpan wrote.
