Owen Shroyer, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host, was sentenced to 60 days in jail on Tuesday for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Shroyer pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of entering and remaining on restricted grounds in June 2023. He did not enter the Capitol building itself.

DC District Judge Timothy Kelly told Shroyer during sentencing, “You kind of stand out as a unique case,” and told him he was “not nearly just a trespasser,” on January 6.

According to court documents, Shroyer “spread election disinformation” in the months leading up to the Capitol attack. Prosecutors say in the documents that by December 31, 2020, InfoWars was focusing primarily on January 6.
