A federal judge in Washington has issued bench warrants for the arrest of two defendants in the January 6, 2021 US Capitol riot case, Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson III, after they were found to have tampered with or removed their ankle monitors.

The FBI is now searching for Pollock, who was scheduled to stand trial on Monday, March 6, 2023, at 9:00 AM. According to a warrant issued for her arrest, court officials have not been able to locate her since late February.

Joe Boland, a supervisory special agent with the FBI’s Lakeland, Florida office, said the FBI has recovered one of the defendants’ ankle monitors after they removed it, but declined to say whether it was Pollock’s or Hutchinson’s.

District Judge Carl Nichols ruled that as a result, the trial would proceed with two of Pollock’s codefendants and she would be tried separately.
