A Florida man will spend the next 30 months behind bars for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot when he assaulted a police officer, according to the Department of Justice.

Daniel Paul Gray, 43, of Jacksonville, pleaded guilty in October to obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. According to a probable cause statement reviewed by Law&Crime, body camera video showed Gray breaking through a police line to get into the building and then pushing a Capitol police officer down some stairs, causing her to be injured. Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence were interrupted by the rioters while trying to certify the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.

Gray, a former mixed martial arts instructor and bartender, bragged about his actions a couple days after the incident in an Instagram video.

“A female cop stole my phone and I got mace’d… and I’m like you know what, we’re doing this so we literally pushed them from the front steps of the Capitol all the way back,” he said.
