[THREAD] Last time we checked in on Brandon Fellows he was giving interviews to local TV in his insurrection costume and comparing his situation to the Holocaust. You may be shocked to learn he has been *ARRESTED AGAIN*

Fellows was initially placed under house arrest but the judge later relaxed those conditions and gave him a 9PM curfew. What nobody knew at the time was that he had already stolen $700 from a couple just days after the insurrection.

He then promptly violated the curfew twice and also lied to pretrial services by telling them he had left messages explaining his curfew violations. Of course there were no messages.

Meanwhile the couple he defrauded went to the State Police to report the theft.

Fellows agreed to turn himself in to the State Police on March 8 but he never showed up. He eventually turned himself in and was arrested six weeks later after they contacted him *AGAIN*. He also failed to report all of this to pretrial services (another violation).

Federal prosecutors asked the judge to revoke his bail and send him back to jail until trial. Incredibly, the judge denied the request and ordered him back into home confinement instead.
