J-6er arrested [View all]

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/22/us/trump-news

One day after his charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol were dismissed in light of Trump’s sweeping pardons this week, Daniel Charles Ball of Florida was re-arrested on new gun charges. As first reported by Kyle Cheney of Politico, Ball was picked up in Florida on a warrant accusing him of being a felon in possession of a weapon. In the Jan. 6 case, he was charged with detonating an explosive device during the attack on the Capitol, injuring several police officers.

So, a pardon doesn't remove a felon conviction? Baitball Blogger Jan 22 #4

Not if you commit a new one. Ocelot II Jan 22 #6

I must have read it wrong. I thought he was arrested because he purchased a weapon when he was a felon. Baitball Blogger Jan 22 #8

He was already a felon as the result of crimes he committed before 1/6. Ocelot II Jan 22 #12
