(The Hill) — An Ohio pastor who authorities say used a bullhorn to incite the Jan. 6, 2021 mob at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Thursday after being found guilty of multiple offenses.

William Dunfee, 59, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and three years of supervised release, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), which added that he was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and $2,000 restitution.

“His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election,” the DOJ said in a statement.

Dunfee was convicted in January of two felony charges — obstruction of an official proceeding or aiding and abetting, and civil disorder — and one misdemeanor of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds.
