A federal judge has ordered an accused Jan. 6 rioter from Florida — who allegedly harbored a fugitive Proud Boy for six weeks — released from jail pending trial, though he will be required to wear a GPS monitor.

Thomas Paul Osborne, 40, was indicted on Feb. 21 on four charges including felony civil disorder, entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a restricted area, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. Prosecutors say he grabbed an officer’s baton as he tried to impede police defending the building and lawmakers inside.

He was arrested in Lakeland, Florida, on Feb. 22, according to a warrant. The FBI had already placed him on its “lookout” list, the Justice Department said. Prosecutors had wanted to keep Osborne detained ahead of his trial, the AP reported, and in a transcript of Osborne’s hearing before a magistrate judge in Florida when he made his first appearance post-arrest, U.S. Attorney Risha Asokan rattled off a lengthy list of reasons why.

To start, Asokan told U.S. Magistrate Judge Amanda Sansone, when Osborne came to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, he didn’t come alone, but traveled with two others: a brother and sister also from Lakeland, Jonathan and Olivia Pollock. Osborne worked at the Pollocks’ gun store in Florida, too.
