Actor Jay Johnston Sentenced to Prison for Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Involvement

Johnston, known for his role in 'Bob's Burgers,' received a one-year prison sentence for obstructing police during the 2021 Capitol attack.

Jay Johnston, 56, pleaded guilty to interfering with police officers during the January 6 Capitol riot.
He was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison, less than the 18 months prosecutors requested.
Johnston was seen participating in a 'heave-ho' push against police and holding a stolen riot shield.
His involvement in the riot led to his dismissal from 'Bob's Burgers' and being blacklisted in Hollywood.
Despite expressing regret, Johnston was criticized for minimizing the riot's severity and joking about his participation.
