Kentucky Man Sentenced to Prison for Assaulting Law Enforcement During 6 Jan Attack on Capitol

Source: US Department of Justice

Luke Hoffman (40) from Dover, KY was sentenced to 20 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution after he previously pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement during the 6 Jan 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

From 1:25PM to 4:05PM Hoffman was one of the most dangerous attackers on 6 Jan. Amongst other things, he assaulted several police officers, attempted to steal a baton from another officer who was screaming, sprayed tear gas, and rallied other seditionists to continue rampaging.




Luke Hoffman’s wife was instrumental in his conviction by posting her husband’s actions on social media.

I think life will pretty much suck for him from here on out.

I love the fact that he was caught through his wife’s social media accounts.

Now if only people like rfkjr or gosar cared about their families they probably wouldn''t be such absolute assholes.

Or if she just posted his rantings. Either way, a happy ending for society!

I think that's great. I've noticed quite a number of 20 month sentences for these goobers.
so, if they have been convicted since May of 2023, and sentenced to 20 months they will be out of circulation this next Jan 6.
