On Tuesday, Daniel Ball's case tied to the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack was formally dismissed after he received a full pardon from Donald Trump. But by Wednesday, Ball was arrested once more on a pending federal gun charge.Ball was charged in May 2023 with 12 counts tied to the Capitol attack, including assaulting, resisting or impeding officers using a dangerous weapon, and using explosives to commit a felony.
In his new indictment, there is no mention of those charges, which Trump wiped from his record. However, Ball's two previous convictions—for domestic violence battery by strangulation in June 2017 and battering and resisting law enforcement with violence in October 2021—are detailed in the charging papers.
He is accused of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, around May 2023.
Ball detonated an explosive device in the Lower West Terrace Tunnel, injuring several officers, including one whose hearing was impaired by the explosion for months.
So violent thug with long history of being a violent thing, is still a violent thug? How shocking.
