A man who President Trump pardoned after he allegedly fired a gun during the Jan. 6, 2021 US Capitol riot was arrested last month for allegedly brutally attacking a woman three years before the attempted siege, according to authorities.
John Banuelos, 40, from Utah, was arrested on Oct. 17 while pulling out of a fast-food restaurant in a rideshare car in Chicago, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office announced in a statement posted to social media on Friday.
A warrant had been issued for Banuelos in Salt Lake City on Oct. 1 for aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault, cops said.
Banuelos had allegedly attacked a woman in the Salt Lake City area in June 2018, three years before he was accused of being involved in the Jan. 6 riot, according to court records obtained by CBS.
