Infowars host Owen Shroyer has been placed in solitary confinement as he begins a 60-day prison sentence for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Shroyer, who did not enter the Capitol building during the attack, had the sentence handed down to him in September for “amping up” the mob with chants that furthered the riot at a sensitive moment. At the time, the crowd had gathered at the Capitol to protest Donald Trump‘s 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.

Prosecutors argued that while Shroyer did not enter the Capitol, many of those who listened to him did. They also pointed to an agreement Shroyer signed in 2019 after he interrupted a congressional hearing. He agreed not to use “loud, threatening or abusive language, or to engage in any disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place upon the United States Capitol Grounds.”
Conservative host Shroyer, who shadowed his boss Alex Jones on January 6, faced misdemeanor charges related to the riot and this year pleaded guilty to breaching restricted grounds. However, he announced plans to appeal his sentence.
