Joseph Fisher, a former Boston police K-9 officer who assisted during the Boston Marathon bombing response, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for assaulting a Capitol Police officer with a chair during the January 6 riot.
Fisher expressed remorse during the court hearing, acknowledging his actions as an “abomination” and offering apologies to the officer he assaulted, the people of Washington, D.C., and the nation. Despite federal prosecutors seeking 46 months of incarceration, Fisher emphasized his embarrassment and the tarnishing of his family’s reputation due to his actions.
