A federal judge sentenced a New Jersey gym owner Wednesday to serve nearly 3.5 years in prison for punching a D.C. Police officer in the head during the Capitol riot.
Scott Fairlamb pleaded guilty in September to one count each of obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting or impeding police. Footage captured outside the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 shows Fairlamb inciting other rioters and accosting police – at one point yelling, “Are you an American!?” – before striking an officer who was attempting to reinforce others inside the building.
In other videos, Fairlamb can be seen climbing up scaffolding for the inaugural stage and yelling, "What do patriots do? We [expletive] disarm them and then we storm the [expletive] Capitol!"
Fairlamb faced a recommended sentencing range of 41-51 months in prison, and the Justice Department argued in a memo that he should serve the upper end of that. During his sentencing hearing before U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Wednesday, prosecutors said Fairlamb, a boxing trainer and one-time MMA fighter, knew the sort of injury he could cause when he punched the officer. They also said previous assault charges he’s faced show the January 6 assault wasn’t an isolated incident, calling it “one of a long line of assaults.”
