In March, he pleaded guilty to a nine-count indictment, including six felony charges, the Charlotte Observer reported at the time.
The felonies were:
—Civil disorder.
—Entering and remaining in a restricted area with a deadly and dangerous weapon.
—Becoming involved in physical violence in a restricted area or groups with a deadly and dangerous weapon.
—Two counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a deadly and dangerous weapon.
Mastanduno also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; an act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan sentenced Mastanduno to 4 years and nine months in prison, one of the longest sentences given to a North Carolina resident convicted in connection with the Jan. 6 violence.
