Indiana man arrested for Jan. 6 Capitol riot faces asylum hearing after arrest in Canada
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A fugitive from Indiana convicted for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, now under arrest in Canada, will have a hearing on Wednesday.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) told News 8 it arrested Antony Vo without incident last Monday on the four-year anniversary of the Capitol attack.
I-Team 8 was the first to interview Vo after he refused to serve his nine-month prison sentence for joining the Capitol mob. Then I-Team 8 broke the news Vo escaped to Canada to seek asylum.
Vo admitted he had no intention of turning himself in to serve his sentence, believing President-elect Donald Trump would issue a full pardon to every January 6 defendant.
“I have no reason to doubt that President Trump is a man of his word,” Vo said in November.
A spokesperson for the CBSA said there was no record of Vo entering the country at an “official port of entry”.
