FEDERAL COURT,
Jan 21 – Hunter Allen
Ehmke, charged with breaking a
US Capitol window worth more
than $1000 and obstruction of
an official proceeding
received more strenuous
condition of release than
other Capitol invasion
defendants on January 21,
including GPS monitoring and
restriction to the Central
District of
California.
U.S.
District Court for the
District of Columbia
Magistrate Judge G. Michael
Harvey held the proceeding.
Inner City Press live tweeted
it, here:
AUSA requests
conditions for Ehmke - "no
firearms at all, & GPS
monitoring," which other Jan 6
defendants today in DDC have
not gotten.
Pre-Trial: With
GPS he'll have to get approval
to leave the Central District
of California, not just the
state. Judge Harvey: Any
problem with getting courtesy
supervision? Pre-Trial: No.
What about any passport?
Ehmke: My
passport was seized, by FBI I
believe.
Ehmke's
lawyer: We don't believe
electronic monitoring is
needed. He's charged with a
felony, but only because of
the dollar value of the
window. So we want the
standard conditions. AUSA: We
vehemently disagree. There's
video of him kicking out a
Capitol window
Judge
Harvey: I think he faces two
felonies.
AUSA: Only one is
a crime of violence.
Section 1316, property over
$1000, 10 years in jail.
Lawyer: What
about slanderous threats to
Federal judges? 18 USC
1521(c)(2)
Judge Harvey: I
think it's 1512(c)(2)
Judge Harvey:
It's obstruction of an
official proceeding. It's a
twenty year felony. I agree
with the government that
heightened supervision is
warranted in this case. I
require he stay away from
DC... No firearms... GPS
location monitoring as he is
right now.
Judge Harvey:
Next date on Mr. Ehmke is
February 4, Speedy Trial Act
time is excluded. Parties are
excused.
