A man who sprayed apple cider vinegar at Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar during a town hall meeting in January has been sentenced to 14 months in prison, according to The Hill. Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, received the maximum sentence for federal charges of assaulting a U.S. officer as part of a plea deal with prosecutors. He was also sentenced to three years of supervised release. ABC News reported that Kazmierczak reached a deal with prosecutors following the incident, which occurred during a time when Minneapolis was dealing with a surge of immigration agents and the deaths of two U.S. citizens. No other details about the sentencing or the charges were provided in the ABC News summary.
