Robert Wayne Dennis, 63, a graphic and comic book artist, was found guilty of six counts by a Washington, D.C., judge at his January bench trial.

His attorney, Allen Orenberg, could not be reached for comment but said in a recent court filing his client “has had ample time to reflect on his mistakes, and he is deeply regretful.”

U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg also ordered Dennis to pay $2,000 in restitution at Thursday’s sentencing hearing.Dennis is one of more than two dozen North Texans charged in connection with the insurrection that resulted in five deaths and injured dozens of police officers. Authorities said Dennis approached a line of Metropolitan Police officers who struggled to keep the mob away from the Capitol. He pointed at them and “appeared to place his hand” on one of the officers, court records show.Robert Wayne Dennis is shown on top of a police officer after taking him to the ground.

Orenberg gave a different interpretation of what occurred during the scuffle. “No police officer was injured by Mr. Dennis,” he said in a pretrial court filing. “In contrast, Mr. Dennis was severely injured by police officers. He was unable to move any part of his body while numerous police officers continued to pin him to the ground and yelled in his ear.”When FBI agents arrived at his home in July 2021 to question him, Dennis told them he drove to the Stop the Steal Rally in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Capitol Police confiscate assault rifle outside of Capitol groundsThe U.S. Capitol Police confiscated an assault rifle before it reached Capitol grounds, police say. There is currently no evidence that the owner was attempting to target the Capitol or Congress, but the incident is under investigation. So was IT ( assault weapon) driving itself towards The Capitol😳🤔🤷‍♂️ I doubt it was selective fire, thus not an 'assault rifle'. Mote likely just a seni-auto cicillian sporting rifle. NBC lies and lies about everything, especially when it comes to firearms. there is no such thing as an 'assault rifle'

You lied in your article! No police officer died ! 950 people charged, thousands interviewed, and the government can’t come up with one case of a preplanned “insurrection“… but the narrative continues… I have a bridge for sale.
