A Texas militia member was sentenced Friday 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.
After marching to the Capitol, Hazard clashed with officers who were trying to hold off the mob near scaffolding on the northwest side of the building. Hazard grabbed a Capitol police officer and pulled him down a set of concrete steps, knocking him unconscious. That officer was treated for a concussion and foot injuries that required multiple surgeries, according to prosecutors.
In the days after Jan. 6, Hazard bragged on Facebook about storming the Capitol and fighting with police. “His conduct was more consistent with impeding officers and his impeding led to bodily injuries of the officers,” Akpan wrote.
