A 40-year-old Upper Peninsula man received six months in prison time he s already served in a District of Columbia jail and $500 in restitution for his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Karl Dresch of Calumet pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor count of willfully and knowingly parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. Four other counts, including obstructing an official proceeding and entering or remaining on restricted grounds, were dismissed.
Dresch received credit for the six months he already served, so his sentence essentially is already served.
While Dresch talked tough on social media about the Jan. 6 events, his actions did not match his rhetoric at the Capitol that day, said D.C. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson.

Three large aerial water tankers filled with retardant were what stood between Perthâs out-of-control inferno and disaster as 27 fire crews inside Shady Hills View estate, north-east along the cityâs fringe, successfully fought through the night to save its houses.
The monstrous fire front which grew up to a perimeter of 126 kilometres on Thursday had ravaged the hilly terrain east of the fringe suburb of Bullsbrook and broke free of containment lines at three points late on Wednesday, including south of the fire head near Brigadoon estates, Avon Ridge and Joshua Mews.
