A Texas man has been sentenced to a term of 33 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. David Rene Arredondo, 48, from El Paso, also received three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution, reported the U.S. Department of Justice

On January 3, Arredondo entered a guilty plea to eight counts, including felony charges of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. Engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds is among the misdemeanors he pleaded guilty to, aside from the felonies. During his time inside the U.S. Capitol, he traveled from El Paso to Washington, D.C., where he stayed near the Capitol Hill area.

Evidence against Arredondo included open-source images, videos, and U.S. Capitol surveillance footage, which showcased his activities inside and around the Capitol building on the day of the insurrection. The court documents assert that Arredondo actively participated in the chaos, removing bike rack fencing used as barriers and using it against officers tasked with securing the site.

Arredondo's sentencing adds to a growing list of consequences facing those involved in the Jan. 6 events. With more than 1,488 individuals charged for their roles in the assault, nearly 550 have faced felony charges for assaulting or impeding law enforcement. The FBI's El Paso Field Office and the West Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force led the investigation into Arredondo's case, with additional support from other federal and local agencies, according to the press release by the Justice Department.

The investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, events is still active and ongoing.
