Lonnie Coffman was sentenced to nearly four years in prison after his pickup truck with Molotov cocktails and guns was found near the Capitol on January 6.
. Eventually, Coffman returned to the truck, at which point the officers detained him. Authorities also found that he had been walking around the riot with an unregistered handgun in his pocket.
The 46-month sentence takes into account the more than a year Coffman has already spent in prison since the weapons stockpile was first found, the AP reported. However, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Friedman said in the AP report that the sheer number of weapons posed too much of a danger to ignore.
