In sentencing documents, prosecutors alleged that Enrique Tarrio was «a general rather than a soldier.»
The sentencing hearing for Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was suddenly postponed on Wednesday morning following initial reports of an emergency.
The postponement came just a few moments before Tarrio was expected to arrive in court in Washington, D.C., for his sentencing in connection with the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
«Justice Dept says ‘Due to an emergency, the court is not proceeding today with sentencings in the Proud Boy cases,'» Scott MacFarlane of CBS News wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
«Justice Dept is deferring to court system to explain the delay. Indicating this is not an issue involving the parties,» MacFarlane said in another post.
MacFarlane clarified on X that the judge overseeing the case, Tim Kelly, was out sick and the sentencing hearing for Tarrio was rescheduled for September 5.
