WASHINGTON, D.C. – A federal judge sentenced a Casselberry man to home confinement and two years’ probation for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Tyler Quintin Bensch, 21, was arrested in August with other members of B Squad – a group federal investigators called a militia.
A News 6 investigation revealed B Squad aligned itself with another group called Three Percenters.
The name comes from a myth that only 3% of colonists rose up against the British, but they were able to achieve liberty for everyone, according to the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism.
On Friday, Bensch agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors, where he pleaded guilty of disorderly conduct inside the Capitol and theft of public records.
A judge sentenced him to 60 days home confinement, followed by 24 month of probation.
He is also required to pay $500 in restitution.
Cases involving other militia members John Edward Crowley, 51, of Windermere, Jonathan Alan Rockholt, 39, of Palm Coast, Benjamin Cole, 39, of Leesburg, and Brian Preller, 34, of Mount Dora, are still making their way through the federal court system.
