January 6 Rioter Who Trump Pardoned Has Been Arrested One Day After Release
Trump-pardoned Jan. 6 rioter arrested again!
In a shocking twist, one of the January 6 Capitol rioters has been arrested—just a day after being pardoned by former President Donald Trump.
Trump’s pardons explained.
The charge comes despite their recent pardon, which absolved crimes related to the infamous Capitol storming.
On January 20, 2025, Trump issued an unprecedented pardon for every January 6 participant.
The sweeping clemency nullified countless convictions and pending prosecutions tied to the attack.
Supporters praised Trump for what they saw as correcting “unjust” imprisonments.
Critics, however, warned that these pardons could embolden future acts of political violence.
The latest arrest marks the first sign of fallout from Trump’s controversial decision.
Rioter’s criminal history described.
Details reveal this person has a troubling criminal history, with multiple convictions before their involvement in the January 6 events.
By 2021, additional charges surfaced for resisting law enforcement and battery against an officer.
Rioter’s actions during protest revealed.
During the Capitol attack, their actions reportedly stood out for their violence and audacity.
Prosecutors claim they brought an explosive device and threw it into a tunnel crowded with police.
The rioter then allegedly grabbed a wooden plank and entered the Capitol, adding to the chaos inside.
This individual faced 12 severe charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and carrying explosives.
Despite their violent history, they pleaded not guilty to all counts in court.
Charges against rioter detailed.
The individual, who benefited from Trump’s controversial clemency of over 1,500 rioters, is facing new federal charges.
The arrest occurred in Washington, D.C., connected to an indictment in Florida.
Authorities allege that the individual committed a firearm-related offense in May 2023.
A grand jury in Florida had indicted the individual months before the pardon, allowing legal action to proceed.
Authorities allege that, as a convicted felon, they unlawfully possessed a firearm and ammunition.
This latest charge, unrelated to January 6, could carry significant legal consequences.
Observers are now questioning the effectiveness and wisdom of Trump’s blanket pardon policy.
Ball’s name has appeared in headlines before for his violent actions on January 6.
He became infamous for throwing an explosive and storming the Capitol wielding a weapon.
The arrest reignites scrutiny on Trump’s pardons and their potential repercussions.
Pamela Hemphill, a fellow rioter who refused her pardon, spoke out against the move.
“We were wrong that day. We broke the law—there should be no pardons,” she stated.
As Ball remains in custody, the nation watches the ongoing fallout of the January 6 pardons.
