A Proud Boys recruit was sentenced Monday to 55 months in prison for his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol last year.

According to the Justice Department, former Washington, D.C. bartender Joshua Pruitt, 40, came within seconds of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) while rampaging through the building. Schumer and his detail were forced to race down a ramp and shut the double doors behind them to avoid an attack, officials said in a statement.

Pruitt pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of an official proceeding. He was caught on video participating in a mob that chased police officers and destroyed a large sign inside the Capitol, actions prosecutors argued were intended to further incite the crowd, CNN reported.
