WASHINGTON – An Oregon man was sentenced to prison today after he was previously convicted of eight charges as a result of his conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.
Reed Knox Christensen, 65, of Hillsboro, Oregon, was sentenced to 46 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $22,000 in restitution and fines by U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth.
Christensen was convicted of one felony and seven misdemeanors, including civil disorder, and three misdemeanor counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers following a jury trial in the District of Columbia in September 2023.
