Jan. 6 defendants emerge from custody after Trump issues pardons

Hundreds of rioters, including those who assaulted officers on Jan. 6, 2021, were released from prison.

A Florida man who prosecutors alleged attacked police with an explosive device during the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol — and whose case was dropped following President Donald Trump's sweeping pardons and commutations issued Monday, was arrested Wednesday on pending federal gun charges, according to court records.

Daniel Ball, 39, was taken into custody Wednesday morning, according to an arrest warrant, on a separate indictment returned by federal prosecutors in Florida last summer that charged him for unlawfully possessing a gun as a felon.

He had at least three previous felony convictions — one dating back to 2017 for domestic violence battery by strangulation and two in October of 2021 — nine months after the Jan. 6 riot, for resisting law enforcement and battery on a law enforcement officer.

Ball was among the few defendants being held pretrial in connection with his Jan. 6 case, after prosecutors accused him of using an explosive device to assault officers trying to protect the Capitol in the Lower West End Tunnel.

Ball further was allegedly seen on video joining rioters in an unsuccessful attempt to break through a police line, before retreating to throw "dangerous weapons" at the line of officers, according to court records.

A federal judge ordered Ball detained in May of 2023 after determining he posed a serious ongoing danger to the general public if released, and to members of law enforcement in particular.

Ball has not entered a plea to the weapons charge and ABC News has reached out to an attorney listed as representing him for comment.

Still amazes me that the only cop on that day to not play with these mf’s and put a bullet in their ass was the Black one. The white ones were too p*ssy to kill one of their own

I seen the interview and he said his father is even more radicalized.

And he threated his kids prior to getting arrested.

This is will be the case with alot of families of these militias and apart of the cult where these folks will do harm to their own family in the name of Trump.

Trump let a criminal with multiple violent crimes to his name go free. I thought republikkkans wasnt soft on crime and was all about law and order. I see that they only believe in those things when the criminals aint white.

This will backfire tremendously for trump if one these people gets out and hurts somebody.

Stupid motherfukker crashed out two days after getting a pardon.

These are his followers

He always said he likes the uneducated voters… he also meant the uneducated and violent voters

This is what I remember from his presidency the first time. Waking up everyday concerned with what he’s doing in the Oval Office

Nothing about that surprised me, tbh.

It's a perfect example of why we need more black cops.

That won’t change anything either imo…in all of my negative interactions with police, by far most of them were with Black cops, women specifically.

Well, it's been the opposite for me.
