An Indiana man convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 with his mother was arrested in Canada this week after failing to report to prison and attempting to apply for asylum there, with local border agents capturing the 32-year-old in Whistler — on the anniversary of the 2021 insurrection — while he was on a snowboarding trip, according to reports.

Antony Vo, a former Bloomington resident and “fugitive from U.S. justice,” was arrested without incident in Whistler, British Columbia, on Jan. 6 for violating Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), according to a statement from the Canada Border Services Agency. He applied for asylum in the country last month after skipping out on a nine-month prison sentence that he was supposed to serve after being found guilty of multiple charges related to the Jan. 6 attack, including entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, violent entry or disorderly conduct in a Capitol building or grounds and parading, and demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building.
