But this one didn't get to take advantage of his Trump pardon.[Daniel] Ball has previous convictions for strangulation, domestic violence, and for resisting law enforcement with violence.

I wonder if that will give his attorneys something to hang his defense on.Ball, a 39-year-old Florida man, was arrested on a federal gun charge a day after Donald Trump issued a sweeping pardon for the majority of those accused—or convicted—of crimes related to events of Jan. 6, 2021.
The firearm charge was filed in Washington and first reported by Politico, which added that Ball’s arrest was the first federal warrant filed in the nation’s capital during Trump’s second term.
Despite an emotional call to his parents—where he can be heard saying “it’s been a long 20 months for me”—to discuss his pardon on Monday, records show Ball was never released from a D.C. jail.
[...]
Federal investigators had accused him of setting off an explosive device in a Capitol tunnel on Jan. 6. NBC News reported at the time of his arrest, in 2023, that he was the only alleged rioter to face charges for allegedly setting off an explosive.
[...]
Ball was charged in August with possessing a firearm in Florida as a felon, but had been unable to appear due to his detention. While the charge was filed in Florida, WUSA9 reports the alleged discovery of a firearm stemmed from a raid of his home that was tied to his Jan. 6 charges.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
