Proud Boys Member Sentenced to 10 Years for Role in Capitol Attack

Christopher Worrell, who fled and faked an overdose to delay sentencing, will serve time in a prison medical facility due to health conditions.

Christopher Worrell, a member of the Proud Boys, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Worrell was convicted of multiple charges including assaulting police officers with pepper spray and obstructing an official proceeding.
Before his sentencing, Worrell cut off his ankle monitor and fled, leading to a six-week manhunt by the FBI.
When found, Worrell faked an opioid overdose as a delay tactic, leading to a five-day hospital stay under police surveillance.
Judge Royce Lamberth, who sentenced Worrell, has recommended that he serve his time in a prison medical facility due to his health conditions, including a rare form of lymphoma.
