A rioter who threatened to shoot Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “in the friggin’ brain” during the 2021 insurrection was sentenced to 60 days behind bars on Thursday.
The Department of Justice said that Dawn Bancroft has been sentenced to 60 days incarceration, and will be on probation for three years.
Bancroft will also have to complete 100 hours community service and pay $500 in restitution fees.
She previously pleaded guilty in September 2021 to a misdemeanor charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
In the arrest warrant, the DOJ noted that Bancroft was arrested after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) received a tip with a “selfie” video which showed Bancroft and her friend, Diana Santos-Smith attempting to exit the U.S. Capitol building.
The video showed Bancroft saying, “We broke into the Capitol…we got inside, we did our part.” She then continued, “We were looking for Nancy [Pelosi] to shoot her in the friggin’ brain but we didn’t find her.”
According to an FBI affidavit, Bancroft estimated that she stayed inside the Capitol Building for approximately 20-30 seconds before deciding to exit.
