Proud Boy on house arrest in Jan. 6 case disappears ahead of sentencing
Authorities are searching for a member of the Proud Boys extremist group who disappeared days before his sentencing in a U.S. Capitol riot case, where prosecutors are seeking more than a decade in prison. Christopher Worrell of Naples, Florida, was supposed to be sentenced Friday after being found guilty of spraying pepper spray gel on police officers, part of the mob storming the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory. Prosecutors had asked a judge to sentence him to 14 years. Court records show the sentencing was canceled Tuesday and a bench warrant issued for his arrest, initially under seal. The U.S. attorney’s office for Washington, D.C., said he was unaccounted for and encouraged the public to share any information about his whereabouts.
