I suppose this was one way to ensure that he'd get the maximum sentence prosecutors had asked for, which was 14 years for pepper-spraying police and other violations. These MAGA creeps just aren't the best or brightest. According to reports, he resisted arrest at his home, and was taken away in an ambulance on a stretcher.

Good.

Naples resident Christopher Worrell, convicted for his part in Jan. 6 Capitol riot, has been arrested at his home by the FBI, a Collier County Sheriff's Office spokesperson confirmed Thursday night.

The sheriff's office assisted the FBI with the warrant. When it was served, Worrell was home.

Worrell, a member of the Proud Boys extremist group, went missing in August just as he was about to face sentencing for multiple crimes he committed during the riot. He was found guilty in May. Prosecutors had asked for a sentence that includes 14 years in prison, fines and other conditions.

Among other violations, Worrell was accused of assaulting law enforcement officers with pepper spray.
