(Washington, D-C) – A federal judge in Washington, D-C, Wednesday, ordered a father and son from northern Iowa serve time in prison for their participation in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. The men, 51-year-old Daryl Johnson and his son, 30-year-old Daniel Johnson, both of St. Ansgar, admitted to entering the building through a broken window and pushing through a police line once inside.

While the entire encounter lasted roughly twenty seconds, the pair were in the Capitol for 26 minutes. The pair were sentenced on one felony count of civil disorder, because of their guilty plea to that charge the other counts they faced were dismissed.

Daryl Johnson will serve 30 days in jail and Daniel Johnson with serve four months. Defense attorneys for both men sought probation and no jail time. Daniel Johnson has three prior convictions, all misdemeanors.

Both men expressed their apologies to Judge Dabney Friedrich and those at the capitol, for their actions on that day.
