KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man who attended the U.S. Capitol insurrection last year was sentenced to home detention and probation after he apologized for his actions.
Carey Jon Walden was sentenced Wednesday to 30 days of home detention, three years’ probation and 60 hours of community service.
The Kansas City Star reports Walden told the judge he regretted being at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count.
The judge noted that Walden did not injure any officers, carry weapons, damage property or help plan the riot.
But she said Walden’s participation undermined the country’s electoral process and values.
