A Missouri man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for intentionally driving a U-Haul truck into barriers near the White House as part of an attack aimed at overthrowing the U.S.

A Missouri man who crashed a rented U-Haul into the security barriers close to the White House in 2023 was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison, court documents show. Sai Varshith Kandula slammed the rented truck around Lafayette Square near the White House in late May 2023.

Authorities say Sai Kandula drove to the White House in a rented truck, which only stored a Nazi flag, in a quixotic attempt to overthrow the government.

The man who crashed a rented truck into barriers protecting the White House in an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government and replace it with a Nazi dictatorship has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

The Missouri man's intention was to overthrow the government and replace it with a "Nazi style dictatorship", officials say.
