Federal prosecutors are arguing that a Cleveland, Tennessee, man charged with participating in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 in Washington, D.C., should not be released pending his trial because he “poses a clear danger to our republic,” according to a motion filed this past week in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Joseph “Jose” Lino Padilla, 40, is accused of assaulting a police officer and throwing a flagpole during the riot.
He was arrested by the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 23 after people who recognized him tipped the FBI.
Padilla, who faces six federal charges — including assault on police with a dangerous weapon, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds — was released from the Bradley County Jail into the custody of U.S. marshals on March 3, according to the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office. It’s not clear where he is currently being detained.
Local attorney Lee Davis, who represented Padilla at the time of his arrest, is no longer representing him, Davis confirmed Friday. Padilla had no legal representation as of Friday, according to court records.
In their memorandum, prosecutors argue “there are no conditions or combination of conditions the court could impose that would reasonably assure the safety of the community or the appearance of Mr. Padilla.”
