U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced Michael Sparks, of Kentucky, on Tuesday to four years and five months of imprisonment for his role in the Jan. 6 attack in Washington, D.C.

Michael Sparks, 46, of Kentucky, jumped through a shattered window moments after another rioter smashed it with a stolen riot shield. Sparks then joined other rioters in chasing a police officer up flights of stairs, one of the most harrowing images from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
