PA. MAN LIKELY TO GET ONE OF THE LONGEST SENTENCES JANUARY6TH RIOTS

Officials with the U.S. Department of Justice say they’ll seek the longest prison sentence yet for a Pennsylvania man for his actions in the January 6th, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol. Peter Schwartz of Uniontown could get more than 24 years in prison when he’s sentenced May 5th. Prosecutors  argue Schwartz already had a lengthy criminal history when he entered the Capitol and unleashed a series of violent acts against officers. He later claimed to a friend that he “started a riot” by throwing the first chair.
