A Wisconsin man has been charged with fleeing to Ireland to avoid a prison sentence for joining a mob’s attack on the U.S. Capitol over three years ago. A court filing Tuesday charges 56-year-old Paul Kovacik with defying a court order to surrender to serve three months behind bars for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
FILE - Supporters of President Donald Trump try to break through a police barrier, Jan. 6, 2021, during a riot at the Capitol in Washington. Former President Donald Trump said during a debate with President Joe Biden last week that the attack on the Capitol involved a “relatively small” group of people who were “in many cases ushered in by the police.” The filing charges Paul Kovacik with defying a court order to surrender and serve three months behind bars for participating in the Jan.
Kovacik told authorities that he decided to withdraw his asylum claim and return to the U.S. because he felt homesick, according to a U.S. Marshals Service deputy’s affidavit. Kovacik took videos of rioters’ damage as he moved through the Capitol on Jan. 6. He later uploaded his footage onto his YouTube channel, with titles such as “Treason Against the United States is about to be committed,”Marine accused of flashing a Nazi salute during the Capitol riot gets almost 5 years in prisonOfficers who defended the Capitol fight falsehoods about Jan.
The court issued a warrant for Kovacik’s arrest after he flew to Dublin, Ireland, through Germany on the day that he was supposed to report to prison in Chicago.
