Wisconsin man charged with fleeing to Ireland to avoid prison term for Capitol riot role - https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/w...

"A Wisconsin man fled to Ireland and sought asylum to avoid a prison sentence for joining a mob's attack on the U.S. Capitol over three years ago, federal authorities allege in a court filing Tuesday.

The filing charges Paul Kovacik with defying a court order to surrender and serve three months behind bars for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

Kovacik, 56, was arrested last month after he voluntarily returned to the U.S. from Ireland. Kovacik is serving his sentence at a federal prison in Chicago and is scheduled to be released from prison on Sept. 8. But a conviction on the new misdemeanor charge could lead to more time behind bars."
