FLORIDA, USA — The FBI made three arrests of Jan. 6 fugitives on Saturday morning — on the third anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Jonathan Daniel Pollock, Olivia Michele Pollock and Joseph Daniel Hutchinson III were arrested early Saturday morning at a ranch in Groveland, Florida. They are scheduled to appear in Federal Court in Ocala, Florida on Monday. The FBI has not released any more details on their arrests.
According to charging documents released in 2021, the trio, along with two other men, assaulted police for hours on Jan. 6, using metal flagpoles and stolen riot shields.
The FBI had been searching for the three fugitives for months. Olivia Pollock and Hutchinson were initially arrested in 2021, and tampered with or removed their ankle monitors in March of 2023, an FBI agent told the Associated Press earlier this year. They had been missing since. In September 2022, the FBI doubled the reward for information leading to Jonathan Daniel Pollock's arrest.
All three are facing charges of assaulting federal officers, theft of government property and violent entry and disorderly conduct.
According to the indictment released in 2021, Jonathan Daniel Pollock, his sister Olivia Michele Pollock, and Hutchinson, Joshua Christopher Doolin and Michael Steven Perkins – traveled around the U.S. Capitol grounds as a group during the riot.
Doolin and Perkins were sentenced in August. Doolin was sentenced to 8 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release for four offenses, and Perkins was sentenced to 48 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release for five offenses.
In dozens of images collected from body-worn cameras and other footage, investigators say the group can be seen repeatedly clashing with police on Jan. 6.
In one series of images, the DOJ says Jonathan Daniel Pollock, wearing a MultiCam camouflage outfit with “distinctive military morale patches” on the front, can be seen leaping over other fallen rioters to continue attacking police. Images in the indictment appear to show him tackling and punching officers, and then grabbing another by the neck and forcing him to the ground.
At another point, the DOJ says Jonathan Daniel Pollock and Perkins jointly attacked police who were trying to assist another officer.
Pollock was identified as a possible suspect in the riot after he allegedly showed off pictures of himself at the Capitol at his workplace in Florida. According to the indictment, on the second day after he returned to work, he said he had a “family emergency,” left the worksite and then never returned.
More than 1,230 people have been charged with federal crimes in the attack, AP reported, ranging in offenses and sentences.
