A New Jersey man was sentenced in the District of Columbia today on five offenses, including a felony, committed during the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach. 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.
Patrick Alonzo Stedman, 35, of Haddonfield, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell to 48 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution and a $20,000 fine.
Numerous videos and photos documented Stedman’s offenses inside the Capitol building, including footage from police body-worn camera, open-source video, surveillance footage from inside the Capitol, and texts and messages he posted to social media.
