Michael Shane Daughtry, a former Georgia police officer, was sentenced on Thursday for taking part in the Jan. 6 insurrection of the US Capitol.

The 60-year-old served as a Pelham Police officer from 2002 to 2020. He was fired partly because of social media posts about an armory business he owned. Since then, the store has been closed down.

In one such post, he wrote, “Anyone needing an AR15 and some extra ammo before the election, I’ve got a couple left in stock…It may be your last chance if the election don’t go right tomorrow! Let me know if you’re interested.”

“When they finally start putting these Democrats in front of the firing squad for treason I hope they’ll let me serve on the firing squad…I’ll even bring my own ammo,” he wrote in another post.

“We tore the fence down up there. We was the first ones over the fence. Everyone followed us,” he said in one of the posts.
