Former WV State Rep Gets 90 Days In Capitol Riot

NBC News reports:

A former West Virginia lawmaker who stormed the U.S. Capitol on behalf of former President Donald Trump while livestreaming his felonious activity on Facebook was sentenced to three months in prison on Wednesday.

Derrick Evans, who had been sworn in as a Republican state delegate just a few weeks before the Capitol attack, was arrested and charged just after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. He pleaded guilty in March 2022.

Justice Department prosecutors had sought the three-month sentence for Evans, saying he cheered on rioters and told his followers, “The revolution has started!”

Evans was arrested two days after the riot. He resigned from the West Virginia legislature the following day, only 25 days after having been sworn in.
