Nicholas DeCarlo, a member of the Proud Boys, was sentenced to prison for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach two years ago. DeCarlo was initially facing 20 years in prison, but after reaching a deal with prosecutors, he will serve four years in a Dallas federal facility.

DeCarlo of Fort Worth, Texas, was sentenced along with Proud Boys leader Nicholas Ochs of Honolulu, Hawaii, the founder of the Hawaii chapter of the Proud Boys.
