A member of the Proud Boys has disappeared ahead of his sentencing on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to an arrest warrant unsealed on Friday.

Christopher Worrell was convicted earlier this year on seven counts related to his conduct during the insurrection, including assaulting a group of Capitol Police officers with pepper spray and lying to investigators.

He was set to be sentenced on Friday, with prosecutors seeking 14 years in prison. However, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on Tuesday, and his sentencing hearing was cancelled on Wednesday, court records show.

    Honestly, yes. Usually saying someone “disappeared” when referring to someone arrested for a political crime implies they were “dealt with”.

      They don’t disappear, they fall out a window or get suicided in the back of the head twice. What kind of message does “disappeared” send?

        You never heard of someone getting “disappeared”? When someone “disappears” it’s not because they ran off, it’s because someone took them.

        The message is usually “this guy was causing headaches and now he’s not, so stop asking questions”
