DES MOINES, Iowa [KCCI] – A Des Moines man convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the United States Capitol is out of federal prison. Doug Jensen, 44, was transferred last month from a Texas prison to a residential reentry management facility in Kansas City, Kansas.

In September 2022, Jensen was found guilty of obstruction of a law enforcement officer during civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, assaulting, resisting or impeding a police officer, unlawfully entering a restricted building with a weapon, disorderly conduct inside a restricted building with a weapon, disorderly conduct in the Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a capitol building.

Pictures and videos show Jensen at the front of a crowd in the Capitol Rotunda on the day of the riots. Jensen’s attorney said at trial that his client’s actions were motivated by right-wing conspiracy theories.

Jensen was sentenced in December 2022 to five years in prison with three years of supervised release.

Updates from Jensen’s wife say he’s able to find a job and will be able to come back home on weekends.
