US Capitol Rioter, Who Got Pardon From Donald Trump, Arrested On Weapons Charges
A Florida man- whose case was dropped following US President Donald Trump’s pardon- was arrested on pending federal gun charges, as per court records.
Daniel Ball was taken into custody on a separate indictment returned by federal prosecutors in Florida that charged him for unlawfully possessing a gun as a felon. The 39-year-old had at least three previous felony convictions — from 2017 for domestic violence battery by strangulation and two in October of 2021 for resisting law enforcement and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Daniel Ball was among the few defendants being held pretrial in connection with the US Capitol riots case after prosecutors accused him of using an explosive device to assault officers.
The judge ordered in May of 2023 that Daniel Ball should be detained as he posed a danger to the general public and to members of law enforcement.
