An Iowa resident was sentenced on Sept. 27 to more than seven years in federal prison for assaulting a law enforcement officer on Jan. 6, 2021, matching one of the longest terms of imprisonment so far among nearly 900 U.S. Capitol breach prosecutions.
Kyle Young, 38, of Redfield, Iowa, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Washington by Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who noted that Young admitted to being among a group of protesters who participated in the assault of a former police officer in the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol.
