The Indiana man, who was pardoned by US President Donald Trump for the riots of the US capitol, killed the police during a traffic stop for days later.
Matthew Huttle, 42, was shot and killed on Sunday when the police withdrew his vehicle, and he allegedly resisted and ended up in a “quarrel” with the officer, according to the Indiana State Police Statement (ISP).
It remains unclear why he was arrested. Police added that Hutte had a firearm in her possession during traffic stops.
Huttle was one of the almost 1,600 people who gave Trump a pardon or swelling last week because of their roles in clutter on January 6.
Indiana police said the official who was involved in the shooting was placed on paid administrative leave.
“For complete transparency, I have asked the state police of the Indiana State to investigate this officer who has included shooting,” said Sheriff of District Jasper Patrick Williamson.
Huttle and his uncle Dale Huttle were among the hundreds of people who condemned the capitol more than four years ago.
Huttle was in the US capitol for ten minutes during the mess and was eventually sentenced to six months in prison as part of the guilt recognition agreement. He was released from custody in July 2024.
His uncle said earlier that he did not regret involving the mess: “I am not ashamed of being there. It was our duty as patriots.”
This is not the first case of a mess on January 6th, which faces problems with the law after their pardon. Another group, Daniel Bell of Florida, was caught last week on charges for federal weapons.
Both Hutte and Bell were among the hundredth of January 6, who were rejected by Trump on the charges during his first day at the White House.
Among those who rejected their accusations were some leaders of the proud boys and the guardian of the oath – the ultimate right organization at the head of the mess.
“These people are destroyed,” Trump said as he announced pardons. “What (the judicial system) did to these people is out of the way. In the history of our country, there was rarely something similar.”
But some were critical of Trump’s pardon of rebels.
Over the weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, said it was a “mistake” to forgive or travel the penalties “people who entered the capitol and violently beaten a police officer.”
