'I'm ashamed': Woman who breached Capitol receives probation in 1st sentence handed down for Jan. 6 riot

An Indiana grandmother who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol became the first person sentenced in the attack on Wednesday.

A grandmother from Indiana who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation for her participation in the riot, making her the first person sentenced in the attack. Anna Morgan-Lloyd, a 49-year-old hair salon owner, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Washington, D.C., District Judge Royce Lamberth also ordered her to complete 40 hours of community service and pay $500 in restitution. The sentence is what the defense had asked for, and the government supported. Morgan-Lloyd, who prosecutors said did not participate in any of the violence at the Capitol, posted on Facebook after the attack that it was the "best ... day ever," adding a curse word to the description.
