Anna Morgan-Lloyd gets 3 years probation for entering the Capitol illegally on Jan. 6.
A judge handed down the first federal-court sentence to a defendant in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot Wednesday, sparing an Indiana grandmother jail time after she admitted entering the Capitol illegally that day.
Anna Morgan-Lloyd, 49, was sentenced to serve 36 months probation, perform 120 hours of community service and pay $500 in restitution for damage incurred when demonstrators supporting former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in a bid to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the November election.
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said he considered the sentence of probation a serious one and appropriate for the misdemeanor offense Morgan-Lloyd pleaded guilty to: parading, picketing or demonstrating in Capitol buildings. Lamberth is an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan.
Morgan-Lloyd faced a maximum possible sentence of six months in prison, but prosecutors did not seek jail time for Morgan-Lloyd. They said she’d cooperated with law enforcement. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed to drop three other misdemeanors Morgan-Lloyd faced.
