“A federal judge ordered a Jan. 6 rioter to be jailed Thursday after he admitted to assaulting officers with chemical spray and breaking out a window at the Capitol, with the judge calling the defendant’s conduct ‘outrageous,’” NBC News reports.
“The judge declined to make an exception to a law that requires those who plead guilty to violent felonies to be detained between their plea and their sentencing.”
Said Judge Reggie Walton: “You make your bed, you gotta lie in it.”
