CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A Homosassa man who was facing charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol has been re-arrested on new gun charges.

Daniel Charles Ball, 39, had been facing federal charges stemming from throwing what authorities called an “explosive device” into a tunnel at the Capitol.

Several officers were injured as a result of the explosion, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Ball had been held in pretrial detention in Washington, D.C.

On Tuesday, the charges against Ball and more than 1,500 other people charged with crimes in the attack were pardoned by President Donald Trump. Some had prison sentences commuted.

But Ball, who had a warrant accusing him of being a felon in possession of a weapon, was quickly re-arrested and charged. He was arrested in May 2023 after the Capitol attack indictment. 

Ball’s Middle District of Florida arrest warrant calls him a “two-time convicted felon with prior convictions for domestic violence battery by strangulation and resisting law enforcement with violence.”

His previous charges stem from a domestic incident in June 2017 and a law enforcement stop in October 2022, both in Florida.
