WASHINGTON (AP) — 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, according to a warrant made public Friday.

Christopher Worrell of Naples, Florida, was supposed to be sentenced Friday after being found guilty of spraying pepper spray gel on police officers, as part of the mob storming the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutors had asked a judge to sentence him to 14 years.

The sentencing was canceled and a warrant for his arrest issued under seal on Tuesday, according to court records. The U.S. attorney’s office for Washington D.C. encouraged the public to share any information about his whereabouts.

Worrell had been on house arrest in Florida since his release from jail in Washington in November 2021, less than a month after a judge substantiated his civil-rights complaints about his treatme

1. Place your bets, folks. In which state or country will he eventually be located?

[TheBlackAdder]

8. Idaho?

[2naSalit]

16. Or...

Eastern Montana or Oregon.

[BlueIdaho]

56. Check with Ammon Bundy...

He’s idiotic enough to shelter a traitor.

[Karma13612]

63. +1000

[republianmushroom]

15. Texas

[PlutosHeart]

40. +1

[VGNonly]

31. My guess is the Arizona Strip

or the Salmon River backcountry of Idaho.

[C Moon]

32. Hiding out a mile and half from home.

[swong19104]

34. Russia.

The orcs will take him in.

[Farmer-Rick]

46. Yeah, did they take his passports?

Trump use to have several of them.

Does this guy still have his?

[leftieNanner]

52. Would a guy like that

Even HAVE a passport??

[ShazzieB]

61. Good question!

Seems unlikely to me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. Approaching a state of room temperature after a shootout with law enforcement. . . . nt

[NCjack]

59. He will hide out by working security for Donnie's rallies.

Donnie will stiff him when he presents his bills for service and expenses.

[BlueKota]

68. Colorado at Bobert's House

[ZonkerHarris]

2. he played that judge for a sucker. I'm sure it will work out for him.

[stopdiggin]

3. anybody that aids or shelters

goes to prison too. Real simple.

[getagrip_already]

7. he obviously had help.....

hopefully someone who was under surveilance.

But even if a nobody, you can't get far in FL without having a license plate scanned. traffic lights, highways, fast food, just about anywhere cars queue up get scanned. Wouldn't be hard for a computer to find someone who came into sthat area of the tate for a few minutes and left again.

Then there are all the ring doorbells in the neighborhood, and delivery drivers with dashcams that can be subpoenad, and you ain't all that invisible anymore. Welcome to the surveilance society.

[stopdiggin]

19. I'm thinking more that he has to go to ground

somewhere. And wherever that is (Idaho, Oregon, Michigan, etc.) - this goober is putting other people at risk of prosecution and jail time.

Feelin' lucky punk? Is your goober friend and your little TikTok army worth it?

[getagrip_already]

21. yeah, but he had to get there somehow.....

so he either drove himself, or someone came and got him. Either way, it exposed where he went.

[intheflow]

69. Not necessarily.

I can think of a hundred ways to avoid being seen, but they all require an accomplice. But depending where they live, crawl out a back window at 3 am, walk through the woods where Billy Bob is waiting for you in his RV. Drive a state or two over, never has to leave the vehicle. That’s just one idea.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

48. LOL

Because criminals never steal someone else's plates, or acquire stolen plates, and put them on their own cars.

Because they never get access to another car from someone or somewhere else, legally or not.

Because they never have friends with cars who will spirit them away.

Because they never hitchhike.

I'll bet his own car is either in his garage, or has someone else's plates on it. Even MAGAts know how to get around a license plate search. The trackers will do that search, but it's a long shot for finding this traitor. It's still too easy to beat that LEO maneuver.

As for the cameras, that isn't a sure thing, either. Yes, we have a surveillance society--but it's not 100%. We had surveillance for the DC wannabe-bomber. See anyone arrested for that? No? Then guess what? Surveillance can be beaten, if you're clever enough. Or lucky enough. The sheer number of cameras out there could indeed help. But it's not a guarantee.

[getagrip_already]

50. I didn't mean he used his own car to get away......

I meant that whatever car was used, the plate was picked up coming and going. It could have been a stolen plate. And police will search for stolen plates being picked up on those systems close by in that time, then track where they went and on what vehicles and who was inside.

Not perfect, but it can start the trail of crumbs.

And lets not forget how truly stupid most people actually are. As much as tv hows and da intertubes like to make everyone out to be some super-spy, they aren't. they are bumbling idiots in most cases who get one or two things right andd 20 wrong.

So lets wait a few weeks and see if he is still missing. Maybe yes. Maybe no.

[LiberalArkie]

57. Since the monitor was not working he could be anywhere. He could have run in November since

the monitor was not working. It is supposed to notify the agency if it is removed, it obviously did not.So they have no idea at all when he left his home.

[IronLionZion]

4. Dude probably "backs the blue" and supports "law and order".

Good that media is using the words "extremist group". Domestic terrorism is a bigger problem than many folks want to admit.

[Auggie]

5. On a positive note: more prison time for Worrell!

[Omnipresent]

11. Christopher didn't plan on there being a downside to evading the authorities.

His eyes might bug out of head, with a few more years of his life going down the drain.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Damn.

[Maraya1969]

9. Naples has a lot of very expensive areas. Maybe he got on a private plane to an island or Russia?

[Goat-0125]

41. Maybe .. but it sits on the edge of Swamp Bubba Heaven

Coastal Florida is pretty well developed, but go inland just a few miles and it's 1950 again. He could hide there for weeks or even years without much effort.

[SergeStorms]

58. The panhandle of Florida...

is wild as all hell. I had a cousin that hid out there for over 20 years before he had a motorcycle accident and the law caught up to him. Crawfordville the town was called. He died last year, and as far as I know no one from the family attended his funeral. He was not well liked, to put it mildly.

[Maraya1969]

65. That true.

[Lonestarblue]

10. He's probably in Mexico by now. Easy to get lost there or mosey on to other countries.

You used to be able to travel to Canada or Mexico with a US driver’s license. I’m not sure that’s true anymore, but it’s probably easy to sneak across the border in some places. I hope they find him and add five or so years to his time in prison.

[Karma13612]

26. You need an enhanced driving license

Or a passport card.

But he could get fake ones since he has probably got good connections.

Would he head to Bundy’s out west? Is he still around, and out of jail? I’ve lost track.

[tonekat]

12. He can try to run

They'll get him.

[Jirel]

13. Betting it ends in a shootout.

Nah, I doubt he managed to flee the country as some suggest. He’ll imagine he’s hunkering down somewhere safe, creating more accomplices, until he’s ratted out or the obvious trail of cars, video footage, etc. is followed. Then he’ll express himself to law enforcement with a high powered rifle.

The good news: lots of extra MAGAt arrests for helping him try to disappear.

[jls4561]

14. Coward

[Warpy]

17. Not much good without the thug's picture

which needs to be circulated places other than the post office bulletin board.

[Progressive dog]

29. There is one picture at the AP link

and if you google his name you will find more.

[Karma13612]

30. I followed the link out to AP.

At the top of the article is a picture of both a document and a picture of a guy in paramilitary gear. I’m thinking thats him. When he’s caught, they’re going to wipe that smile right off his face.

🤷‍♀️

[Sky Jewels]

51. Here's one of him being a curious tourist on 1/6/21.

Judging from his hand gesture, I guess he thought the historic Washington DC sites were "A-Okay!"

[Warpy]

54. Typical, big mouth, no brains, dead eyes.

I just wonder where they're going to nab this jerk.

They'll get him, too.

[ShazzieB]

64. And a white power hand sign to complete the ensemble. 🙄

May they find and apprehend this jerk quickly, and may many years be added to his sentence for this stunt!

[msfiddlestix]

66. Looks like a former Jar Head. Classic Look. But maybe I'm just stereo-typing

[2naSalit]

18. Might be...

Fun to watch when he gets caught... as long as nobody ends up dead or something.

[Chainfire]

20. He may as well be enjoying one last monumental binge. They will catch him and he won't see daylight

for nearly 20 years. You would have to be really clever to exist in today's world under cover and these terrorists are not known for their brilliance.

[Croney]

22. A little more FA is just going to make the FO that much worse.

[Sancho]

23. Check DeSatan's house...

[MorbidButterflyTat]

24. I'm getting

strong Brian Laundrie vibes. On the run, desperate, not wanting to go to prison, offs himself.

[Karma13612]

33. Brian was feeling panic and remorse- that's my guess.

This Worrell guy is basically saying, catch me if you can. He’s not remorseful, but I agree that he doesn’t want to spend time in jail.

Now when he’s caught, they’ll tack on more years.

Typical - he thinks he’s above the law like his orange fatso leader.

[AllaN01Bear]

25. on the lamb, hem. hunted man for the rest of his life . could be anywhere .

[Hekate]

27. Coward

[Emile]

28. I wonder if they will take him alive.

[calimary]

35. "House arrest"? Was he NOT under guard?

How the hell did he manage to slip out?

And why on earth was he somehow trusted to stay in house arrest? And whose lame-ass idea was that, in the first place?

I swear, you trust jerks like him to play by the rules and you get made a fool of, time and time again.

[3Hotdogs]

36. I guess he ain't too proud no more. Doesn't want his face to be seen.

[moniss]

37. This woman who was his "custodian"

is in big time trouble.

[Wonder Why]

39. He put on a lot of weight, bought a red tie & painted his face orange. He's hiding at Mar-a-Lago!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

42. As he's apprehended, and he will be,

He'll be screaming 'stop treading on me!'. To which I would reply, 'do the crime, do the time tough guy.

[gab13by13]

43. My guess,

on a pontoon house boat in International waters in the middle of hurricane season.

[orleans]

44. I AM SHOCKED!!! nt

[AllyCat]

45. You don't say?

I mean, who wudda thought a PB would be anything less than law-abiding and completely honest and brave?

I’m starting to think all the face masks and hoods are really indicating these Nazi types are just cowards.

[twodogsbarking]

47. Flash forward, substitute Trump for this twerp.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

49. Please

He's not going on the lam.

It astounds me how people think that someone can flee the country when he's as famous as he is, with so many federal eyes on him, with few friends overseas who will turn a blind eye to that fat pig landing in their country, and with too few of the resources necessary to make a clean getaway (his plane can't fly just anywhere without refueling if he wants to make it to an extradition-free country).

And never mind how he won't run away, because his ego won't let him be seen as backing down, and he's too arrogant to think he can possibly lose in court.

He's not going anywhere.

[SouthernDem4ever]

53. They are all flight risks

they shouldn't be allowed to stay home between arraignment and sentencing or be on house arrest until their time is served - as little as that appears.

[kairos12]

55. Basement at

Merde de Lardo.

[Evolve Dammit]

60. pool boy at Maggot Lago?

[Mr. Ected]

62. Putative Republican candidate for President in 2028

A new folk hero for MAGA once Trump disappears into a prison cell.

[malthaussen]

67. I wouldn't release any of these punks on O.R.

Guess the judge thought he "wasn't a flight risk."
