Jay Johnston joined other rioters in a “heave ho” push against police officers guarding a tunnel entrance to the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Johnston expressed regret for his conduct on Jan. 6 before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols sentenced him on Monday to one year and one day behind bars.
