A member of the Proud Boys has disappeared ahead of his sentencing on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to an arrest warrant unsealed on Friday.

Christopher Worrell was convicted earlier this year on seven counts related to his conduct during the insurrection, including assaulting a group of Capitol Police officers with pepper spray and lying to investigators.

He was set to be sentenced on Friday, with prosecutors seeking 14 years in prison. However, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on Tuesday, and his sentencing hearing was cancelled on Wednesday, court records show.

    I have zero doubt that a fellow Proud Boy working in law enforcement or some other government department helped him escape.

    There are a terrifying number of these clowns working within government as well as in the military and law enforcement and it seems like little is being done to weed them out.

      Worse, they’ve been willfully infiltrating those jobs and recruiting within them. There needs to be nationwide police reform; the days where state-level policies and regulation was good enough are long past. Same for schools, healthcare, and insurance.
