A Florida man was sentenced Friday on a felony charge related to his conduct during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
According to the Department of Justice, Steven Miles, 40, of Zephyrhills, Florida, was sentenced to 24 months in prison, 12 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.
According to court documents, Miles, a member of the Proud Boys and adult film actor, traveled from his home near Tampa to Washington, D.C., to contest the 2020 presidential election.

He and other members of the Proud Boys left the rally site long before the speeches began, walked to the West Front of the Capitol, and played a leading role in escalating the riot. As the group of Proud Boys, including Miles, marched to the Capitol, they chanted “USA!,” “Where’s Antifa”, and “Whose Capitol? Our Capitol!”
Wearing a desert-camouflaged jacket and jungle camo pants, Miles breached the Capitol’s restricted perimeter and confronted U.S. Capitol Police officers in riot gear who had formed a defensive line to protect the building.
