Christopher Worrell had been missing since failing to appear at this sentencing hearing in August.
, a member of the far-right Proud Boys group who was convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, was taken into custody on Thursday after more than a month on the run.
Worrell was convicted of seven counts at a bench trial in May, including obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting officers. Prosecutors alleged he sprayed law enforcement officers with pepper spray gel during the attack as they defended the north side of the Capitol against a large group of rioters.
Worrell's prosecution received increased attention in 2021 after Lamberth held the warden of the Washington, D.C., jail in civil contempt after the defendant said he did not receive proper care for an injury while he was in custody. He was also being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, his attorneys said, and did not receive adequate treatment for the disease.
