A Louisiana man has been sentenced to prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
Charles Tyler Himber, 30, of Slidell, Louisiana, was sentenced to four months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution by U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan.
Himber pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder on July 29, 2024.
According to court documents, Himber attended the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., and afterward made his way to the east side of the U.S. Capitol building.
Himber yelled ‘Let us in!’ as rioters pushed forward against police to force their way inside.
At about 3:21 p.m., some rioters were inside the building in the antechamber by the East Rotunda Doors, and others, including Himber, were outside, attempting to push their way inside.
The crowd outside then pushed their way past the police and into the building, with Himber and other rioters surging forward and into the Rotunda.
Police later escorted Himber and other rioters out of the building, and outside, directly below the steps on the east front, Himber climbed onto an armored truck.
