The fugitives include a Jan. 6 suspect who has been sought ever since the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack and two others who never showed up for trial, court records show.

Three Jan. 6 suspects were arrested at a ranch in Florida on Saturday, the FBI said – including one who has been sought ever since the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and two who never showed up for trial, court records show.

The FBI’s Tampa field office said three Jan. 6 fugitives – Jonathan Daniel Pollock, Olivia Michele Pollock and Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III – were taken into custody early Saturday morning, three years after the assault on the U.S. Capitol.

The FBI executed three federal arrest warrants at a ranch in Groveland, it said. No further details on their capture were available.

    These people aren’t criminal masterminds, or masterminds in general. They thought they were elite soldiers in a revolution led by a man who doesn’t understand how orange concealer works. They’ve fallen for a PT Barnum you’d order on Wish, and admitting that would be horribly embarrassing, so they have no choice but to double down.

    The group of a couple thousand supporters he lobbed at the Capitol were made up of people those Nigerian prince emails were aimed at: they have typos on purpose to weed out anyone who would be smart enough to spot the grift. Of course they were dumb enough to livestream their crimes, and of course they’re dumb enough to out themselves in stupid ways.

    That was the target demographic.
