An actor known for his roles in the television comedies ā€œBobā€™s Burgersā€ and ā€œArrested Developmentā€ was sentenced on Monday to one year in prison for his part in aĀ mobā€™s attack on the U.S. CapitolĀ nearly four years ago.

Jay Johnston, 56, of Los Angeles, joined other rioters in a ā€œheave hoā€ push against police officers guarding a tunnel entrance to the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Johnston also cracked jokes and interacted with other rioters as he used a cellphone to record the violence around him, prosecutors said.

Johnston expressed regret that he ā€œmade it more difficult for the police to do their jobā€ on Jan. 6. He said he never would have guessed that a riot would erupt that day.

ā€œThat was because of my own ignorance, I believe,ā€ he told U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols. ā€œIf I had been more political, I could have seen that coming, perhaps.ā€
