DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a north-central Iowa father and son to prison for their participation in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. 

51-year-old Daryl Johnson and his son 30-year-old Daniel Johnson, both of St. Ansgar, admitted to entering the building through a broken window and pushing through a police line once inside. 

Daryl Johnson will serve 30 days in jail and Daniel Johnson will serve four months.

Defense attorneys for both men sought probation and no jail time.
