An actor known for his roles in the television comedies Bob's Burgers and Arrested Development was sentenced on Monday to one year in prison for his part in a mob's attack on the US Capitol nearly four years ago.

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