Two Capitol rioters have had run-ins with the police, one fatal, within a week of being pardoned. January 6 participant Matthew Huttle was fatally shot by an officer after allegedly resisting arrest at a traffic stop in Indiana.

According to local police, Huttle "was in possession of a firearm," during the stop, but it is unclear whether he attempted to use it during the arrest.

The second Capitol rioter to be rearrested is Daniel Ball, who was taken into custody for a federal gun charge from 2023 shortly after his release from prison.

Despite being pardoned over his actions on January 6—where Ball allegedly threw an explosive into the Capitol causing hearing loss among police officers which lasted for months—Ball still has a criminal record for domestic violence battery by strangulation in 2017 and resisting law enforcement with violence and battery in 2021, meaning his possession of a .22 caliber rifle and ammunition put him in violation of federal gun laws.

A third Capitol rioter is currently on the run from Texas police due to a preexisting arrest warrant from 2016. Andrew Taake is wanted on charges of online solicitation of a minor.

Despite the Harris County district attorney asking the federal prison Taake was being held in to keep him there so that he could be rearrested by state police following his pardon, the facility released him.
