Cleveland Meredith Jr. was sentenced to 28 months in prison for making crude threats to kill Speaker Nancy Pelosi. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP PhotoA QAnon follower from Georgia who brought an arsenal of weapons to Washington just after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was sentenced Tuesday to 28 months in prison for making crude threats to kill Speaker Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
With credit for the more than 11 months he has already served at a D.C. jail facility since his arrest plus good behavior credit, Meredith is likely to spend roughly another 14 months in federal prison before being released. “Thinking about heading over to Pelosi [expletive]’s speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV,” Meredith wrote in a message to his uncle on Jan. 7.
“I had no intention. It was political hyperbole that was too hyper,” Meredith said. “I was out of control that day.” Kiyonaga complained bitterly about the increase in the recommended sentencing range and suggested that the change will discourage other defendants from agreeing to plea deals. “He got in the wrong crowd,” the defendant’s father, Cleveland Meredith Sr., said. “He took some of this QAnon stuff just hook line and sinker and really fell into that hole.”
