A Minnesota man who sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with apple cider vinegar during a town hall will spend more than a year behind bars.
According to The Hill, Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was sentenced Thursday to 14 months in federal prison after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors in connection with the January incident. The sentence was the maximum for his federal charge of assaulting a U.S. officer.
The Hill, citing The Associated Press, reported that Kazmierczak was also sentenced to three years of supervised release, which includes a no-contact order involving Omar.
Prosecutors had recommended a sentence of eight to 14 months, citing Kazmierczak’s May guilty plea to a “one-count indictment, pursuant to a plea agreement” and his previous encounters with law enforcement.
The Hill states that Minnesota court records show Kazmierczak was previously convicted of felony auto theft in 1989 and has been arrested multiple times for driving under the influence.
