An Indiana man and MAGA insurrectionist, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump for his involvement in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was fatally shot while allegedly resisting arrest.

Preliminary investigation reveals that Matthew Huttle was pulled over by Jasper County sheriff’s depuy for a traffic stop, according to the Indiana State Police Criminal Investigations Division Lowell Post.

During the stop, the officer was attempting to arrest Huttle when he began to resist, police said. 

Huttle was recently pardoned for his role in the U.S. Capitol riots. The FBI said he was at the Capitol for several hours during the riots and entered the building for approximately 10 minutes.

The investigation is ongoing and findings will be submitted to the Jasper County Prosecutor’s Office for formal review.
