An Athens man is scheduled to be sentenced next month for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

22-year-old Jake Maxwell last month became the latest Georgia resident to be convicted for actions during the deadly attack three years ago today.

Maxwell was found guilty of felony civil disorder and other charges.

Prosecutors say he got into a physical struggle with an officer, attempted to grab his baton and watched for hours as other rioters became increasingly violent.

He’s one of 22 Georgians arrested on Jan. 6-related charges.

Those include an Americus lawyer, William Calhoun Jr., who was sentenced to serve 18 months in prison, and Brian Ulrich, a man from Southeast Georgia’s Effingham County who was a member of the Oath Keepers and pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy.

A Savannah man, Dominic Box, has a plea hearing later this month.

Details of their actions and prosecutions are available from the U.S. Justice Department on this website.
