Daniel Charles Ball, First Jan. 6 Defendant, Arrested on .22-Caliber Rifle Charges Day After Trump Pardon
Jan 22, 2025, 08:14 PM
Daniel Charles Ball, a 39-year-old resident of Homosassa, Florida, was arrested on federal gun charges on January 22, 2025, just one day after his case related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack was dismissed following a pardon by President Donald Trump. Ball had been indicted in May 2023 on 12 counts for his alleged actions during the Capitol riot, including assaulting police officers with a dangerous weapon and using explosives. He is accused of throwing an explosive device into the Lower West Terrace tunnel, causing hearing impairment among officers. His arrest on gun charges, stemming from a separate indictment filed in August 2024, marks him as the first January 6 defendant to face legal challenges after receiving a pardon. The gun charges are based on Ball's possession of a .22-caliber rifle and ammunition as a convicted felon, with previous felony convictions for domestic violence battery by strangulation in 2017, and resisting law enforcement with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer in 2021. President Trump issued approximately 1,500 pardons for January 6 defendants.
