    A sentencing hearing broke down this week over a disagreement about a sentencing enhancement for a self-employed handyman from Texas who admitted to using a metal whip and unloading a can of bear spray on officers during the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

    Taake had been on pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case in Texas when he went to the Capitol ready for violence, armed with bear spray and a metal whip, prosecutors said.

    Only the best people.
