Florida Proud Boy Sentenced
to 10 Years in Capitol Attack
Jan 5
A Proud Boy from Florida who
went on the lam after being
convicted of using pepper
spray on police officers
during the attack on the
Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was
sentenced on Thursday to 10
years in prison.
The Proud Boy, Christopher
Worrell, was found guilty at
a bench trial in Federal
District Court in Washington
in May on charges of assault,
civil disorder and the
obstruction of an official
proceeding for his role in
the Capitol attack.
Prosecutors said that Mr.
Worrell, 52, arrived in
Washington on Jan. 6 “ready
for battle” and wearing body
armor, and with other members
of the far-right organization
“played a pivotal role in
collapsing the police line
on the west front, leading
to the first breach of the
Capitol building.”
