LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An Arkansas Jan. 6 insurrectionist is a step closer to being released from federal prison.
U.S. Bureau of Prisons records show that 44-year-old Peter Stager of Conway has been transferred to a halfway house near Dallas, Texas. A spokesperson for the bureau said inmates are usually transferred to a reentry facility approximately 17 to 19 months before their expected release date.
Conway Jan 6 insurrectionist gets 52-month sentence
Prison records list Stager as having an Oct. 21, 2024 release date after being sentenced in July 2023. He was sentenced to a 52 month prison term after pleading guilty to assaulting an officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
At his 2023 sentencing, Stager, who had been in jail since his Jan. 14, 2021 arrest, received credit for the 30 months he had served. This meant he had 22 months left to serve at his July sentencing, which would result in a May 2025 release.
