In a federal court hearing to determine whether a Florida man charged in the Republican-led January 6th domestic terrorist attack on Congress should be released pre-trial–he was–prosecutors disclosed they believe insurrectionists have formed a network of allies and safe houses where comrades sought by the FBI can hide and get supplies.
According to the Associated Press, recently arrested fugitive siblings Jonathan Pollock and Olivia Pollock were each caught in suspected “safehouse” ranch in Groveland, Florida: Jonathan had been on the run for two years before being caught while Olivia was caught after 10 months.
Thomas Paul Osborne, the defendant in Thursday’s hearing, had been employed by a third sibling of the Pollocks, and he traveled to Washington with them for the January 6th rally/attack. Osborne himself is suspected to have harbored a different insurrectionist wanted by the FBI, Proud Boy Christopher Worrell, for six weeks. Prosecutors suspect Osborne and others are part of a network maintained by members of the Pollock family throughout Florida. Osborne, however, will be under house arrest at his sister’s home in southcentral Pennsylvania.
