Florida Proud Boys member Chris Worrell was sentenced to ten years in prison for assaulting police officers during the riot on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol.
Worrell has been on the run and was accused of faking an overdose to avoid prison.
The 51-year-old man appeared before Senior U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, D.C., for his bench trial.
He was found guilty by the judge for charges including civil disorder, assault, resistance and obstruction of officers using a dangerous weapon, as well as physical violence and other offenses.
Lamberth also put Worrell on 36 months of supervised release that included restitution of $2,000 and a $610 special assessment.
Worrell faced prison time before his disappearance. Initially, prosecutors sought a 14-year sentence, considered at the low end of the 12 to 17.5 years recommended by guidelines. Worrell later requested 12 to 18 months, citing a health condition in a plea for court sympathy.
