A Ringgold man was sentenced in Washington to 36 months of probation for his role in breaching the U.S. Capitol twice on Jan. 6, 2021.
William Frederick Beals II, who was facing up to two years in prison, will also have to pay $500 to the architect of the U.S. Capitol as part of his agreement, a sentencing record shows.
Beals pleaded guilty in May to entering and remaining in a restricted building and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building.
On Tuesday, prosecutors dismissed two counts of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and one count of theft/embezzlement of U.S. property in return for Beals’ guilty plea.
