Florida Jan. 6 defendant is arrested again after pardon from Trump

A man from Florida whom President Donald Trump pardoned for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was arrested again Wednesday on a federal gun charge.

Daniel Charles Ball was being held in pretrial detention in Washington on multiple charges related to the Capitol attack when a U.S. district judge dismissed his charges. But Ball remained in federal custody on an outstanding arrest warrant from Florida.

Prosecutors alleged that on Jan. 6, 2021, he entered the Capitol and broke a window shutter, before later throwing a device at law enforcement officers that exploded in the Lower West Terrace tunnel of the building.

Ball was one of more than 1,500 people charged in the Capitol attack — including many who were convicted of violent offenses that day — who received pardons from Trump. The president also commuted the sentences of 14 others and put an end to hundreds of pending Jan. 6 prosecutions, including Ball’s.
