Some of the defendants involved in the events of January 6th and who were charged with offenses unrelated to the Capitol attack, such as possessing illegal weapons or evading justice, are still being held accountable for those separate crimes, according to court records.

For instance, Jonathan Daniel Pollock, an alleged participant in the riot, skipped out and did not show up for his trial early last year. While the charges against him in connection to the 2021 insurrection were completely dropped, he is still facing charges for fleeing from the authorities, as confirmed by the Department of Justice.

According to a motion filed by DOJ prosecutors on Tuesday, all charges stemming from Pollock’s indictment in June 2021 for his actions on January 6, 2021, were dismissed following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. Nevertheless, Pollock has not been cleared of the charges related to his evasion and failure to attend his federal court hearings.
