GREENWOOD, Ind. (AP) — A central Indiana man has been sentenced to 30 days behind bars for his role in the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Joshua Wagner of Greenwood apologized in court and says “there’s nothing I can do to take that back.”
Wagner pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor.

The government says Wagner’s phone video showed him referring to Capitol police officers as “traitors.”
Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson says Wagner clearly wanted to inspire the rioters.
