A Michigan pipelayer who modeled for covers of romance novels was sentenced on Thursday to three years in prison for assaulting police at the U.S. Capitol during a mob’s attack.

Logan Barnhart joined one of the most brutal clashes between rioters and police on Jan. 6, 2021. He grabbed an officer by his neck and torso and dragged him into the crowd of rioters on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace. Minutes later, he returned to a police line and swung a flagpole at officers.

Barnhart has worked as a pipelayer and heavy machine operator for construction companies. NBC News reported that Barnhart has modeled for covers of romance novels, including “Stepbrother UnSEALed: A Bad Boy Military Romance.” Internet sleuths using facial recognition technology found photographs of Barnhart from his modeling career, NBC reported.

Barnhart was arrested in August 2021 and pleaded guilty in September 2022 to assaulting the officer with a dangerous weapon.Barnhart wrote an apology letter addressed to the officer. He said he was ashamed of his behavior on Jan. 6. On Jan. 6, 2021, Riley investigated a report of an explosive device at Republican National Committee headquarters and helped an injured officer. The following day, he posted a Facebook message calling for federal charges against anybody who assaulted police, damaged property or breached the Capitol.Less than two hours later, Riley read a Facebook post by Jacob Hiles, a fisherman he knew from YouTube videos.

They continued to exchange friendly messages until Hiles told Riley that the FBI was “very curious” that they had been communicating.Riley immediately deleted all of their private messages, according to prosecutors.

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'
