Judge rules Capitol rioter who tried to flee to Switzerland be jailed before trial
By Sarah Polus - 04/14/21 11:11 PM EDT

A man charged with allegedly beating police officers during the Capitol riot will be jailed before trial after he tried to flee to Switzerland, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

Jeffrey Sabol was dubbed a flight risk due to his previous escape attempt, Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled Wednesday.

A day after the insurrection, Sabol returned to his Colorado home, where he attempted to cover any evidence that might incriminate him as he was "paranoid that he was going to be charged with sedition," according to court documents.

He then flew from Colorado to Boston with the intention of flying to Switzerland, but ended up not boarding the plane. Instead, he drove south and was taken into custody in New York on Jan. 15, where he's remained since, court documents state.

"He has the financial wherewithal to flee these charges," Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Gianforti said during Sabol's arraignment.

Sabol was charged with eight misdemeanor and felony offenses over his participation in the riot, during which he assaulted officers.

Maybe his free-room-and-board room should have padded walls. Sounds like he's not all there.

Hmmm...

...what it sounds like is that we're going to hear another episode in the "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" saga.

Routine goons don't flee to SWITZERLAND.  Costs to much to live there.    But PAID goons easily have bank accounts there.

So now he's in prison.  He might talk about who paid him.

Only one thing to do now.

@Sled Dog

Chances are it's family money. Seems like most of these people are in the mid-20's to mid-30's and never had a job.
