Convicted Capitol Rioter Tackled In Court After Allegedly Refusing To Surrender

A convicted Capitol rioter was tackled by federal law enforcement officials in court on Monday after he allegedly refused to surrender when a federal judge ordered him jailed while awaiting sentencing.The scuffle immediately followed the judge revoking GossJankowski’s release while he awaits sentencing on multiple felony counts related to his participation in the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington.

GossJankowski’s attorney Matthew J. Peed, in an email to HuffPost on Monday, said his client’s reaction in court was “not at all in line” with his past behavior. He called it a “confusing and emotional moment” and insisted that GossJankowski never made any actual threats and he’s a “person of principle.”

Federal prosecutors presented the judge with copies of text messages and social media posts that they said showed GossJankowski harassing and targeting federal law enforcement while out on release.
