Man convicted of bomb threat outside Library of Congress sentenced to probation after year in jail

A man whose bomb threat near the U.S. Capitol forced evacuations and sparked an hourslong standoff with police in 2021 was sentenced to five years of probation Friday. Floyd Ray Roseberry was experiencing a mental-health crisis at the time of the threat, and during the year that he served in jail after his arrest he stopped a violent assault on a guard, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras said. “I'm very optimistic that this was the worst day of your life and nothing like this will ever happen again,” Contreras said.
