Feds ask probation for ex-police officer who stormed Capitol

Justice Department prosecutors recommended six months of probation along with a period of home detention or "community confinement" for former Rocky Mount police officer Jacob Fracker. He pleaded guilty to a felony charge that he conspired with a former colleague, Thomas Robertson, to obstruct Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory.

Fracker was scheduled to be tried alongside Robertson before he pleaded guilty in March. He described Robertson as his mentor and a father figure. Fracker testified at Robertson's trial that he initially believed that he was merely trespassing when he entered the Capitol building. But he ultimately pleaded guilty to conspiring with Robertson to obstruct Congress.

If an eight-year prison sentence were to be handed Robertson, it would be the longest among hundreds of Capitol riot cases. The lengthiest so far is seven years and three months for Guy Reffitt, a Texas man who attacked the Capitol while armed with a holstered handgun.

Blah blah blah.
