INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 A man from Vincennes, Indiana has been sentenced to three years\u2019 probation for his part in the Jan. 6 riot during which the crowd stormed the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols spared Jonathan Ace Sanders prison time after Sanders pleaded guilty this month<\/a> to one count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Three other charges were dropped as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge denied the government\u2019s request to put Sanders on home detention for two months. Prosecutors contended that as a military veteran \u2014 Sanders served in the Air Force \u2014 that Sanders was well aware of the potential danger of his \u201cviolent entry into the Capitol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
