(Washington, D-C) – An Ankeny man convicted of assaulting police officers, and on other charges associated with his role in the Jan. 6th riot at the U-S Capitol, may spend a little more than seven years in federal prison. That’s what prosecutors in the Salvador Sandoval, Jr, are pushing for. Sandoval, Jr. was convicted of all 12 counts he was with in connection with his role in the Jan. 6 attack.

Prosecutors say the man was in the Capitol for roughly 15 minutes and tried to take riot shields from two officers and pushed two more. They suggest he spend 88 months in prison and receive three years of supervised release, along with $2,000 in restitution.

Sandoval and his mother were both charged in the Capitol attack and were scheduled to be tried together back in December. His mother, Deborah Sandoval, pleaded guilty to a single charge and is already serving her five-month prison sentence in a facility in Alabama.

Salvador Sandoval’s attorney says he will file his sentencing memorandum in two weeks, as they are due by July 24, according to court records. Salvador will face sentencing on Aug. 7th.
