‘I don’t even know the words to be honest with you about how insane this is,’ Sarah McAbee said of the proposed sentence for her husband, Ronald Colton McAbee.
Sarah McAbee said she wasn’t shocked that federal prosecutors used sentencing “enhancements” to develop a recommendation that her Jan. 6 defendant husband be sent to prison for 14 years for the roughly seven minutes he spent outside the tunnel entrance at the U.S. Capitol.
“I don’t even know the words to be honest with you about how insane this is,” Ms. McAbee said about the ongoing case against former sheriff’s deputy Ronald Colton McAbee, 30, of Unionville, Tennessee. “You know, there’s just no words when you sit back and think about it as a whole.”
Mr. McAbee was found guilty by a jury in October of five felony charges including inflicting bodily injury on Metropolitan Police Department Officer Andrew Wayte, civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon, and engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon.
