U.S. District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton in Washington, D.C. sentenced Robert Lyon to 40 days incarceration — less than half of the 90 days requested by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.
Walton was scheduled to sentence Thompson on Friday, but that has been rescheduled to Nov. 18.
Thompson stole bottles of liquor, a coat rack and a U.S. Capitol Police pager at various times that day, according to court documents. But prosecutors pointed out Lyon guarded the stolen coat rack, which he called their “trophy” in texts to Thompson, while Thompson went back to the front lines of the attack on the Capitol.Lyon apologized at his sentencing hearing Thursday, saying he realized that entering the Capitol that day was illegal.
