Couy Griffin, the founder of the organization Cowboys for Trump, was on Friday sentenced for entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, with his punishment including 14 days in jail that he has already served in pre-trial detention and so will not face any more time behind bars.

Griffin, who is also on a governing commission in New Mexico, has additionally been ordered to serve 60 days of community service, a year of supervised release, and will have to pay a $3,000 fine.
