A Kansas City man who spent 18 seconds inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot has been sentenced in federal court to 24 months’ probation with 30 days of home detention.
Angelo Pacheco, 24, also is required to pay $500 restitution for damage to the Capitol that day, which the government says totaled more than $2.9 million.
His sentencing Tuesday before Judge Randolph D. Moss was held via video conference in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Pacheco faced a maximum sentence of six months in jail, a $5,000 fine and five years’ probation.
The government requested a sentence of 36 months’ probation that included 60 days’ home detention, 60 hours of community service and $500 restitution.
Pacheco is the 21st Missouri resident to be sentenced in connection with the Capitol riot. Six others have pleaded guilty and await sentencing, and the cases of nine additional Missouri defendants are pending. A jury trial for one of the nine — John George Todd III of Blue Springs — is underway this week.
