TL;DR Summary

Christopher Worrell, a member of the far-right Proud Boys group who was convicted for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, has been captured by the FBI after more than a month on the run. Worrell was apprehended at his home in Central Naples, Florida, and was convicted of seven counts, including obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting officers. He had failed to appear for his scheduled sentencing hearing in August, and prosecutors had asked for a 14-year prison sentence. Worrell's case received attention after he claimed inadequate medical care while in custody, and his sentencing was put on hold due to his disappearance.
