September 4, 2024 Crime, Trump cultists

From the Justice Department:

A Florida man was sentenced to prison today after he previously pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement during the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.

His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.

Bryan Roger Bishop, 52, of Marathon, Florida, was sentenced to 45 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly.

Bishop pleaded guilty to a single count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers on April 30, 2024.

According to court documents, on Jan. 6, 2021, by approximately 2:00 p.m., a crowd of rioters had breached various barriers that had been erected on the west side of the U.S. Capitol building and were attempting to overwhelm police officers positioned there.

At approximately 2:02 p.m., Bishop emerged from the crowd and aimed and sprayed a chemical irritant canister at the line of police officers.

Court documents say that Bishop sprayed a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer directly in the face with an orange-colored chemical irritant and then sprayed a second MPD officer by aiming the spray at an upward angle in order to spray under the officer’s face shield.

After spraying the officers on the West Plaza, Bishop entered the U.S. Capitol building at approximately 2:39 p.m.

Inside, Bishop walked throughout various rooms, including the Rotunda, Statuary Hall, and the Statuary Hall Connector. After approximately 17 minutes, Bishop exited the Capitol building at approximately 2:56 p.m.

Law & Crime reports:

When the FBI arrested Bishop and his wife, Tonya Bishop, at Marathon City Marina in the Florida Keys on Aug. 8, 2023, he told local ABC affiliate WPLG media that his arrest was “a bit overdramatic.” “They came in with a tactical team and drones and all kinds of s—,” Bishop told the outlet.

Tonya Bishop was sentenced in July to 24 months of probation in the case after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and picketing in a Capitol building, court documents show.

She told her incarcerated son in a recorded phone call two days before the insurrection that she planned to go to Washington, court documents said. “On the 6th, Trump has called The Patriots together,” she said, according to court documents. “A bunch of us are headed over there.

So their son is already in prison. Family values!
