Indiana state police say Matthew Huttle, who was given six months in prison, was shot after allegedly resisting arrest
An Indiana man who was pardoned by Donald Trump for taking part in the January 6 insurrection was killed by police during a traffic stop on Sunday.
Matthew Huttle, 42, was shot by a sheriff's deputy after allegedly resisting arrest and getting into an altercation with an officer, local news outlets in Indiana report, based on the Indiana state police's account of the incident.
Huttle was one of the more than 1,500 people pardoned by Trump on the first day of his second term in office for their roles in the 2021 Capitol riot.

Huttle traveled to Washington with his uncle, Dale, and both men were charged for participating in the insurrection. He entered the US Capitol for about 10 minutes and agreed to a plea deal that gave him six months in prison. His uncle, Dale Huttle, was sentenced to 30 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to a felony charge for assaulting an officer after he jabbed the police officer with a long flagpole.
The county sheriff in Jasper county, Indiana, said he requested the state police investigate the shooting. The officer was placed on administrative leave per department policy for police shootings, the sheriff said.
"Our condolences go out to the family of the deceased as any loss of life is traumatic to those that were close to Mr Huttle," Sheriff Patrick Williamson said in a statement.
Another January 6 participant who was pardoned last week was rearrested on federal gun charges. Daniel Ball of Florida was detained for an illegal firearm possession charge, a case that predated but emerged from his involvement in the 2021 Capitol insurrection.
Police officers who were at the Capitol that day and political violence experts have warned that the pardons could lead to further acts of violence.

I said elsewhere some of these people would Darwin Award themselves. Looks like I was correct.
IMO helping to facilitate the elimination of domestic enemies needs to be enshrined in the 2A ...
J6 pardoned offenders ? Bounties !
... patriotic terminations.
With compensation and a pardon !
... and a medal of freedom award at the white house.
... in about 5 years.
After Trump praised them for their actions is it any wonder that they continued those actions after being pardoned? Huttle wasn't just there on 1/6, he was one of the ones specifically cited for assaulting a police officer.
Praised them, freed them and restored their gun rights.
They had no reason to believe that he wouldn't do it again since he told them how much he loved them.
I'm counting on those Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to think that's true.
Was it them he told to stand by and stand something?
Specifically during a 2020 debate with Biden he said, "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by."
Thank-you. I couldn't remember the stand back
I'm not sure it isn't true, especially with those monkey brain groups.
Actually, no. According to the article, that was his uncle.
that POS didn't fall far from the family toilet, did he?
Then what were the charges he was pardoned for?
According to this
Apparently some of them won't remeber it either...
A straight answer. Thank you!!!
best grab a screen shot ...
No shit....
I thought police weren't supposed to shoot people who resisted arrest.
No indication he was armed in the article, wonder why the officer felt the need to shoot them? Why was he being placed under arrest? did they know this was a Jan 6 rioter and execute them?
who fucking cares. you think the local cops don't know who the cop assaulting criminals are in their jurisdictions?
According to the Fox News article, he was armed. No other information however to indicate that Huttle pulled the gun, only that he was resisting arrest.
Unlike many here, I'm not going to speculate what the circumstances were around the stop and the shooting. I'll wait until we get more information as the investigation continues. All we know for certain is this guy wasn't very bright to begin with.
It really doesn't take long before the conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork. Just to clarify, if you believe this guy was killed because of ANYTHING to do with January 6th, you're a fucking moron. If you believe this guy was even pulled over for ANYTHING to do with January 6th, you're a fucking moron. Sometimes I wish the deep state did exist and was actually competent enough to prevent the overreaches of the reich-wing party in our country. However, I know that the 'deep state' or any of the other fantasy government conspiracy theories, whether to do with Hillary Clinton assassinations, Jewish space lasers, pizza parlor child sex rings or mind controlling fluoride in the water or vaccines, is total and utter bullshit.
that works for me ...
...
... that's a little closer to the maga truth.
I don't think this will be the last of them. They were thugs. Thugs usually die young
there's enough of them for 1 per day during the entire term of the criminal/traitor ...
I expect there will be several in the next few years.
I wonder if there's a pool on tarrio and rhodes yet ...
Indeed, here is another one....
A 4th man Trump pardoned for Jan 6 arrested for rape — judge denies bond, sets June trial. Dillon Herrington, nicknamed "MAGA Lumberjack," is charged with raping a woman who was blacked out and did not consent. He was armed with a military knife and stun gun on Jan 6 when he assaulted Capitol Police. Dillon Herrington threw objects at police officers, including a full water bottle, an unidentified object pulled from a box marked “Danger High Voltage,” and a 4 x 4 piece of lumber. He pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and was sentenced to 37 months in prison — but was then arrested for rape on December 28, 2024. That means Trump knew about the rape when he pardoned him.
That guy doesn't deserve to see the outside ever again
Amen to that.
Maybe his last words before he went for his gun were “Don’t you know who I am? Trump made me invincible!”
I've always contended that those maga hats needed heavier webbing ...
Brighter red with a twirly-gig !
... white concentric circles on all 4 sides.
if I was a cop, my biggest fear would be getting maga splatter on my uniform ...
Yeah, me, too. That shit just eats thru the material like Zenomorph blood
"take your shoes off, dammit. you're tracking maga all over the carpet!"
"Get the dog away from that! She hasn't had her shots yet!"
"damn dog, why do they always want to roll around in shit?"
fertilizer is usually considered a hazardous material ...
I still can't believe the police didn't open up on the Jan 6 traitors on the steps of the Capitol when they were violently attacking with Congress in the building.
They still claim that Ashley Babbitt was murdered.
And that the attackers were "patriots."
What percentage of democrats believe Michael Brown was murdered? Its hard for anyone who paid attention during that era to ever take a progressive seriously on this topic. On the night the Grand Jury declined to press charges, there were people on this site inciting people to go out and shoot random police officers in protest.
I can also say, with 100% certainty, that if a white cop, especially one with that officer's service record, had shot an unarmed black female protester in the exact same circumstances during a riot, Democrats would have demonized the officer and demanded that he be charged with murder.
but, but, but, what about ...
Who's house was he breaking into?
If Ashley Babbitt was busting out a window in my house and trying to get in, she would be just as dead.
Is that somehow related to the question I asked?
You didn't ask one, you deflected.
same response to most of your comments ...
Do you not know what a question is? This is a question: "What percentage of democrats believe Michael Brown was murdered?" This character "?" should be your clue. You even picked it out to specifically respond to. Typically, when you select a question to respond to, you actually post something that responds to it. I hope that helps.
Yes, it's all well and good you would be so scared of a petite unarmed woman that you would shoot her rather than simply subdue her, but it is has no relevance to the question I asked.
Yes, that was surprising.
my cousin, now 1 month retired from an alphabet agency, said he watched the insurrection on a TV in a conference room with a group of peers that were shouting "shoot to kill" at the television ...
The cops were being attacked with weapons they would have had every right to open fire
we wouldn't be where we are today if the unamerican insurrectionists that had crossed the capitol threshold on J6 had been brought out in ziplocks, under the umbrella of defending the constitution from domestic enemies ...
"we wouldn't be here today if", the NRA would participate in training young shooters, with stress on accuracy.
More death wishing from the intolerant left.
[✘]
... so far.
So if she was breaking into your house, you would just let her?
Interesting response...
I would yell the door is open, under the present "make my day" law here in colorado ...
I still can't believe the police didn't open up on the May 29th traitors when they were violently attacking the White House with the President in the building.
another pardoned insurrectionist just got arrested in cali for federal weapons violations ...
another pardoned insurrectionist get 10 years for a DUI involving a death ...
GTMO was set-up for terrorists, why the hell weren't J-6 terrorists sent there to await trial?
Merrick Garland is and always has been a conservative Republican...
that’s a tough look
More the shame, glad he never made it to the SCOTUS . Explains his lack of spine .
