The charges stem from the ballot count in Philadelphia on November 6 after the 2020 presidential election.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two men arrested outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center in an effort to disrupt the November 2020 vote count learned their fate on Wednesday.
Antonio LaMotta and Joshua Macias were each sentenced to 11.5 to 23 months in prison for violating firearms laws. They will each then serve four years probation.
Investigators said the pair was illegally armed as they drove from their homes in Virginia.
