LAKELANd, Fla. – The FBI is on the lookout for two individuals accused of taking part in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
The suspects, Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson III, were scheduled to appear in court last Monday, but have gone missing after allegedly tampering with their GPS ankle monitors.
A bench warrant for their arrest has been issued by a federal judge in Washington.
Joe Boland, a supervisory special agent with the FBI’s Lakeland, Florida office, disclosed that one of the defendants’ ankle monitors had been recovered after it was removed, but he did not disclose which defendant it belonged to. The FBI has yet to locate either of the suspects.
Pollock, who is from Lakeland, Florida, is the sister of Jonathan Pollock, another Jan. 6 defendant who has been on the run for several months. Jonathan Pollock has been accused of assaulting numerous police officers during the attack, and the FBI has offered a reward of up to $30,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction.
Pollock and Hutchinson were among five people indicted for assaulting law enforcement officers and other crimes. Hutchinson is representing himself in court, and his appointed standby counsel has declined to comment.
