On Friday, Virginia Spencer became the first North Carolina defendant in the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol to be sentenced.
Now the Pilot Mountain mother of five will be the first to spend time in prison.
A year and a day after the unprecedented attack on the countrys democracy, a federal judge in Washington sentenced Spencer to three months in custody, three years probation and $500 in restitution.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly credited Spencer with not being violent during her familys 30-minute stay inside the Capitol. But she said Spencers mere presence gave support to hundreds of protesters who fought police, marauded through the building and left parts of the Capitol in ruins.
