A Connecticut man who assaulted a Washington, DC, police officer during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol was sentenced on Friday to seven and a half years in prison
Patrick McCaughey III, 25, was found guilty on nine charges during a bench trial in September 2022, including seven felony charges. One of the felony charges was for assaulting Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges with a dangerous weapon. “Your actions on January 6 were some of the most egregious crimes that were committed that day,” District Judge Trevor McFadden said during sentencing. According to court documents, McCaughey was one of several rioters involved in the assault of Hodges.
McFadden said that McCaughey’s young age and lack of prior criminal history made an impact on his sentencing decision, adding that to his knowledge, McCaughey had never even received a speeding ticket. McFadden also said it was an important distinction that McCaughey did not go to the Capitol with a “mob mentality.” “You apparently did not come to the Capitol with a plan to hurt people,” McFadden said while imposing the sentence.
