Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump shot, killed by sheriff’s deputy

An Indiana man pardoned last week by President Trump for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is dead after being shot by a sheriff’s deputy while allegedly resisting arrest.

Matthew Huttle, 42, of Hobart, was shot and killed during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon. A deputy with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department pulled Huttle’s vehicle over on State Road 14 at approximately 4:15 p.m.

Indiana State Police said the traffic stop led to the deputy attempting to arrest Huttle, but that he resisted and struggled with the officer. This “altercation” led to the deputy firing his gun and killing Huttle.
