Jeffrey Scott Brown, 56, of Santa Ana received a sentence of 54 months in federal prison for felony and misdemeanor charges related to the mob attack by supporters of former President Donald Trump, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a Friday press statement.

Brown’s attorney, Samuel C. Moore, sought 40 months in prison, according to court documents.
Moore said that the conduct involved “less than 10 minutes of Mr. Brown’s life” and the alleged pepper spray “did not make contact with any specific victim.” Still, Moore wrote, Brown admits he should never have been in the Capitol tunnel that day and that he takes responsibility for doing so.
I propose that 5.4 months per minute should be the new going rate for attempting to overthrow democracy...

Jeffrey Scott Brown, 56-year-old resident of Santa Ana, was sentenced to 54 months in prison for a number of felonies and misdemeanors conducted during the chaos that occurred two years ago, according to a press release from the United States Department of Justice.

Brown, along with two other co-defendants in the trial — Peter J. Schwartz and Markus Maly — were originally found guilty during trial on Dec. 7, 2022.
According to the statement, the government provided evidence during the trial that showed Brown, Schwartz and Maly in the Lower West Terrace area of the Capitol Building, when Brown was given an "O.C. spray canister by Schwartz who had stolen it from an MPD duffle bag."
Brown reportedly struggled to make the pepper spray canister work as police attempted to hold off the large crowd, but was taught how to use it by Schwartz at which point "Brown then dove towards the front of the police line, spraying them with yet more OC spray."
Dude’s a complete fucking doofus… Apparently child safety features tax his intellect.

A California man was sentenced today (4/28/2023) for felony and misdemeanor charges – including assaulting police officers – for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the presidential election.
Jeffrey Scott Brown, 56, of Santa Ana, California, was sentenced today to 54 months in prison for assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers using a dangerous weapon, interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder, both felonies, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds or buildings , and act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings. Brown and two co-defendants – Peter J. Schwartz and Markus Maly - were found guilty at trial on December 7, 2022.
According to the government’s evidence, on Jan. 6, 2021, Brown was with Schwartz and Maly at the area of the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol Building. Brown was handed an O.C. spray canister by Schwarts who had stolen it from an MPD duffle bags. As the crowd heaved against the makeshift police line, Brown tried to use the O.C. spray but couldn’t figure out the nozzle. He passed it back to Schwartz, who appears to have shown Brown how to use it and passed it back. Brown then dove towards the front of the police line, spraying them with yet more OC spray.

According to the DOJ's criminal complaint, Brown "was at the front of the crowd of rioters in the tunnel, participating in the pushing action against officers who were attempting to restrict access to the U.S. Capitol through the exterior door to the Lower West Terrace."

The Orange County Register adds: "The day before the Jan. 6 riot, Brown posted a selfie, wearing an Infowars shirt, and a message — 'Boarding LAX' — to a Telegram messaging application group chat that described itself as 'the Comms for able bodied individuals that are going to DC on Jan 6' where members 'are all ready and willing to fight, authorities said."

According to the DOJ's complaint, Brown was identified thanks in part to cell phone videos obtained in a search warrant on another Capitol rioter, Gina Bisignano.

Prosecutors asked for at least five years and three months, and said Brown has never expressed any remorse for his actions. Brown lunged forward along with the crowd when Washington, D.C. police Officer Daniel Hodges was crushed against a door, prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo.
Brown also has referred to himself as a "political prisoner" in legal defense fundraising efforts, the government said.
"Brown’s actions on January 6 show an absolute disregard for the rule of law coupled with a willingness to engage in violence," prosecutors wrote.
Brown was found guilty of seven counts, including assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers using a dangerous weapon; and interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder, both felonies.
Courier Journal
An affidavit says the FBI National Threat Operations Center received a tip Jan. 11 from an individual "who is personally acquainted with Schwartz."
The individual said Schwartz was involved in the riot in Washington, D.C., along with supporters of then-President Donald Trump, and that he was supposed to be at a rehabilitation facility in Owensboro on Jan. 6.
The person said Schwartz is a traveling welder and convicted felon who was released from prison due to COVID-19, per the affidavit from a special agent with the FBI.

FBI agents identified Schwartz in an Action 8 News video of the riot that was posted Jan. 7 on YouTube and showed the Kentucky man on the West Terrace of the Capitol building wearing a "distinctive yellow-and-blue checked shirt or jacket," according to the affidavit.
A third co-defendant, Markus Maly, was also scheduled to be sentenced Friday; but his hearing was delayed for an as yet unknown reason...

Three defendants were convicted in the District of Columbia yesterday of felony and misdemeanor charges for their actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. Their actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the presidential election.
Peter J. Schwartz, 49, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania was convicted at trial in U.S. District Court of: four counts of felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers using a dangerous weapon; interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder; obstruction of an official proceeding, and related charges.
Jeffrey Scott Brown, 56, of Santa Ana, California, was convicted of one count of felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcements officers using a dangerous weapon and one count of interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder, and related charges.
Markus Maly, 48, of Fincastle, Virginia, was convicted of two counts of felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcements officers using a dangerous weapon and one count of interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder, and related charges
According to the government’s evidence, on Jan. 6, 2021, Schwartz and his wife Shelly Stallings, who pleaded guilty in August, traveled to Washington D.C. and were at the area of the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol Building. While at the front of the police line around 2:28 pm, Schwartz threw a folding chair at officers, later claiming to a friend that he “started a riot” by “throwing the first chair.” He then stole MPD duffle bags full of O.C. spray canisters, which he distributed to other members of the mob, including his wife, so that they could deploy them against the police. Wielding a large MK-46 canister and carrying a wooden tire thumper, Schwartz began indiscriminately spraying O.C. spray at any retreating police officers he could find. Around the same time, defendant Maly pushed through the crowd toward a group of police officers trying to escape up onto the inaugural stage and sprayed with his own O.C. canister. Schwartz and Maly then followed officers up into the lower west terrace tunnel, where they were joined by defendant Brown and dozens of other rioters. As the crowd heaved against the makeshift police line, Jeffrey Brown received an O.C. spray canister that was passed from Schwartz to Maly to Brown. Brown tried to use it but couldn’t figure out the nozzle. He passed it back to Schwartz, who appears to have shown Brown how to use it and passed it back. Brown then dove towards the front of the police line, spraying them with yet more OC spray.
