HELENA, MT – Hank Muntzer of Dillon was sentenced to two years in prison on Thursday for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. The sentencing took place in Helena following Muntzer's conviction for felony civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding earlier this year.
In February, Muntzer was found guilty of civil disorder, but the charge of obstruction of an official proceeding was subsequently dismissed following a Supreme Court ruling.
Additionally, Muntzer was convicted on several misdemeanor charges, including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, and/or picketing in a Capitol building.
As part of his sentence, Muntzer received 24 months in prison, followed by 12 months of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb also ordered him to pay $2,000 in restitution related to the damages incurred during the riot.
