Mark Leffingwell, a disabled Iraq War veteran who pleaded guilty to punching two police officers in the head on January 6, 2021, has become the 100th member of the mob that stormed the US Capitol to be sentenced in federal court, according to CNN records.

Leffingwell was sentenced to six months in jail -- a shorter sentence than others convicted of assault in the Capitol breach investigation -- because of concerns that he would lose his government pension. He will also pay $2,000 in restitution for damage done to the Capitol.

Those charged with vandalism or violence against police have faced much heavier sentences of up to five years behind bars. In court filings, the Justice Department has said there were at least 1,000 assaults against officers on January 6.
