Kansas City man gets probation for participating in Capitol riot

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man who participated in last year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to home detention and probation.

Carey Jon Walden was sentenced to 30 days of home detention, three years’ probation, 60 hours of community service, and a $500 fine after pleading guilty to one misdemeanor, The Kansas City Star reported.

“I didn’t see a lot (of) what I saw on TV when I was there,” Walden told the judge just before his sentencing. “It was a terrible day, and I’m really ashamed of myself that I was a part of that.”

U.S District Judge Dabney Friedrich noted that Walden did not injure anyone, damage property, carry weapons or help plan the events on Jan. 6, 2021.
