WASHINGTON - Kevin Seefried, a 53-year-old man from Laurel, was sentenced to 36 months in prison on Thursday afternoon for his participation in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. While this is less than the 70-month sentence that prosecutors were seeking, it is more than the one year that his lawyers requested.

His charges included obstruction of an official proceeding, entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Seefried is shown in footage of the riot carrying a Confederate flag. During the riot he was joined by his son, Hunter Seefried, also from Laurel. Hunter was sentenced in October to two years in prison with one year of supervised release and to pay $2,000 restitution.

WRDE's Heidi Kirk was in Washington for the sentencing and witnessed Seefried wipe away tears throughout the day, especially at the mention of his son. His lawyers said Seefried was "caught up in the moment" when he carried a Confederate flag into the Capitol and jabbed a police officer with it. While in court, Seefried stated that he brought the flag as a symbol of protest and never wanted to send a message of hate.

Seefried's defense focused on his remorse and lack of understanding about the electoral process. He declined to speak with press as he left the court.
