WASHINGTON — A former California police chief who called for the execution of Donald Trump’s political enemies, joined the U.S. Capitol attack and then spread conspiracy theories about Jan. 6 was sentenced to more than 11 years in federal prison Thursday.
Alan Hostetter was found guilty in July on charges of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, entering or remaining on restricted grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon and disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon. He represented himself at a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Ronald Reagan appointee, who sentenced him to 135 months Thursday.
Hostetter, who was the chief of the La Habra, California, Police Department in 2010, was arrested in June 2021.
The man who represents himself has a fool for a client.
I’m grateful for the taxpayer dollars saved, anyway
It’s nice when the trash takes itself out.
Man heard he had a Reagan judge and figured the fix was in.
Apparently, it was not.
And they’re cheap, too.
That’s not a very nice thing to say about fashionably homeless John Travolta
If you ordered Fat Mac off Temu.
Ya I think he has a few loose screws. Most of them did.
The way this is an elected position in some locations, their are likely millions of people that were once chief of police. Many in some unheard of backwater place. Tend to get some nutcases the briefly hold that position.
