A Montana QAnon-linked businessman was sentenced to two years in federal prison for his role in the January 6 insurrection after being one of the last to leave the U.S. Capitol, according to a report.
Henry Phillip "Hank" Muntzer, 55, from Dillon, Montana, was arrested two weeks after the Capitol breach, after videos and posts of him surfaced on social media documenting his participation in the incident.
Muntzer traveled to Washington, D.C. for the "Stop and Steal" rally and spent around 38 minutes inside the Capitol, where he engaged in confrontations with police and refused to leave, NBC Montana reported.
The perpetrator is known in his town for displaying a pro-QAnon mural on a wall outside of his appliance store business, according to the outlet.

Muntzer was taken into custody by the FBI on January 18, 2021. Then on Thursday, October 10, he was sentenced to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay a $2,000 fine in restitution. Following his sentencing, he will face a year of supervised release.
This was not Muntzer's first offense as he had previously been convicted of several misdemeanors and felonies, including civil disorder.
Investigations into the events of January 6 remain ongoing, with authorities actively looking into remaining suspects and individuals involved.
