ABC News reports:
A Texas woman who pleaded guilty to assaulting police during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to 17 months in prison on Thursday. Then-62-year-old Dana Jean Bell was considered to be a particularly disruptive rioter who engaged in “prolonged, abusive, and violent” attacks on law enforcement officers, including one that ultimately took his own life following injuries caused by the insurrection, prosecutors said.
The prosecution displayed multiple video clips where Bell can be seen directing a slew of obscenities and offensive gestures towards law enforcement officers, including Metropolitan Police Department Officer Jeffrey Smith who took his own life after suffering brain trauma and concussions – injuries that the D.C. Police and Firefighters’ Retirement Relief Board ruled to be the “sole and direct cause of his death.”
