Jan. 6 rioter who dragged police officer into mob sentenced to over 7 years in prison

Albuquerque Cosper Head, who dragged Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone into a mob of rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced to 90 months in jail Thursday.

Head's prison sentence is six months shy of the statutory maximum in his case. It's also the second-longest so far among hundreds of cases arising from the Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building as Congress prepared to certify President Joe Biden's electoral victory.

"The dark shadow of tyranny unfortunately has not gone away," Jackson said. "There are people who are still disseminating the lie that the election was stolen. They’re doing it today. And the people who are stoking that anger for their own selfish purposes, they need to think about the havoc they’ve wreaked, the lives they’ve ruined."
