Charles Tyler Himber, 30, pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of law enforcement in July, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said in a press release. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan, a President Joe Biden appointee, sentenced Himber to four months in prison, 36 months of probation and $2,000 in restitution.
