A 35-year-old North Carolina man was sentenced to more than three years in prison for assaulting police officers and helping lead rioters during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach.

Brett Alan Rotella, who is also known as Brett Ostrander, was convicted by a jury of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and two counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia said in a press release.

U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss, appointed by President Barack Obama, sentenced Rotella to 38 months in prison, followed by three years probation along with a $2,000 fine.

The FBI’s Statement of Facts affidavit said Rotella stood out from the crowd by wearing a red skull cap and a sleeveless, black puffy jacket showing his heavily tattooed arms while holding a pole with two flags on it.
