Court officials say the leader of the far-right Proud Boys, who was arrested shortly before the insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, violated the terms of his release, according to new court filings.

Henry "Enrique" Tarrio was arrested in DC two days prior to the insurrection on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of property in connection to the alleged burning of a church's Black Lives Matter banner in December, in addition to local weapons charges.

Now, two local judges from the Washington, DC, Superior Court have ordered Tarrio to attend a court hearing on February 22 to explain why his bail shouldn't be revoked, following a dispute over whether Tarrio has stayed in touch with DC court officials while awaiting trial.

One judge said Tarrio allegedly "violated conditions of release," while a separate judge said he "has not reported by phone as required, and is deemed a loss of contact," per court filings.

1. why is he free?

oh shit sorry he's a republikan. I forgot.

[TwilightZone]

3. Probably because of the nature of the charges.

He wasn't in DC for the insurrection. He was arrested before for burning a banner and local weapons charges.

[llashram]

4. gun charges

are a felony, right?

[TwilightZone]

5. Not always.

Many gun charges are misdemeanors that rise to felonies if the gun is used to commit a crime. Varies depending on jurisdiction, as well.

[llashram]

7. well, D.C. forbids

guns carried by a civilian. If not used in commission of a crime relatively light sentence. So I guess this snitch will probably get off.

[TwilightZone]

9. I'm not sure why the nature of the charges would impact whether he "gets off" or not.

Misdemeanor in this instance doesn't mean slap on the wrist. Misdemeanor possession in DC is up to a year in jail and $2,500. That's before the destruction of property charges are taken into account.

[llashram]

11. yeah ok

he's still a RW ahole. I know, just like his ex-potus cult leader, NOTHING serious will come of his situation. He's got leverage. He's a federal law enforcement snitch. Just like low life trump we will all see him skate in and out of court. And in trumps case if that last double cheeseburger doesn't kill him we will see him back at his 'rallies' inciting his cult to more hate and division.

[TwilightZone]

12. Oh, of course he is.

Likely the best thing that happened to him is that he got busted two days before the insurrection, but it sounds like that was by design. Authorities knew he was a potential problem for the 6th and nabbed him ahead of time.

I'm not so sure that nothing will come of his case. I think they'll shoot for the max. They may not get it, but from what I understand, they're not making deals with anyone.

"He's a federal law enforcement snitch."

Hasn't been for several years - 2014, as I recall - and I'd be surprised if it's a factor here.

[llashram]

13. we can only

wait and see what transpires. With him, trump and the whole group from Confederacy 2.0.

[COL Mustard]

14. He's A Snitch

Which is why he was arrested early. He rats on other Proud Boys, from what I've seen elsewhere. I only hope it's true. Some serious time in Punk City would be good for him.

[TwilightZone]

15. According to reports, he hasn't been an informant since at least 2014.

"Henry “Enrique” Tarrio helped law enforcement in a variety of investigations nearly a decade ago by providing information and going undercover, the records show."

16. I Still Wonder If The Proud Boys Know About That

[Squinch]

2. He violated terms and doesn't have to show up in court for 9 more days. This is idiotic.

[TwilightZone]

6. That could have more to do with court scheduling and the docket...

than allowing him to run free for another nine days. Just a hunch.

[Squinch]

8. Then put him into a cell until the court schedule frees up.

[TwilightZone]

10. Not disagreeing, but the hearing is probably a required part of due process.

If they could just throw him in jail for violating the terms, they might have already.

[Mr.Bill]

18. Violate your bail terms where I live

and your ass gets arrested.

[Squinch]

19. Right?

[Rebl2]

20. Same here

I don’t think he should be allowed to explain and should be immediately arrested with no bail.

[Griefbird]

17. Guess he couldn't get Kyle's judge

He could be on his way to Sweden.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Shocked. Shocked I tell you. Where's the one allowed to go to Mexico?? or Kyle Boy? JFC.
