Jonathan and Olivia Pollock
Status: Jonathan and Olivia, who are siblings, have been charged with assault, resisting and impeding law-enforcement, among other alleged crimes.Description: In January 2024, FBI agents arrested Jonathan and Olivia Pollock, along with Joseph Hutchinson (No. 12 above), after a prolonged manhunt. Authorities had attempted to locate Jonathan Pollock since June 2021. In March 2022, the FBI announced a reward of up to $15,000 for Jonathan Pollock’s whereabouts, noting that he is “accused of assaulting multiple police officers with a deadly weapon.” In September 2022, the FBI increased the reward up to $30,000. Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson were arrested in 2021, but disappeared in 2023 after reportedly removing their ankle bracelet monitors. The Pollocks and Hutchinson were initially charged along with two other co-defendants, Joshua Doolin and Michael Perkins, both of whom were found guilty of multiple charges last year.
The Pollock siblings allegedly dressed in paramilitary gear for Jan. 6, 2021. According to the government’s statement of facts, Jonathan Pollock wore “pants, a shirt, ballistic plate-carrier vest, and backpack, all in a multicam-pattern (that is, a particular camouflage pattern print), with distinctive military morale patches on the front of the vest, as well as green kneepads and brown tactical gloves with black, molded plastic knuckles.” Olivia Pollock was “wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with a white flag insignia, a green headband, and a tan ballistic plate-carrier vest with distinctive patches on the front.”
According to the Department of Justice’s summary, Jonathan and Olivia Pollock confronted law enforcement officers on multiple occasions on Jan. 6. Just before 2 p.m., on the west side of the Capitol, Jonathan Pollock “and his younger brother, charged toward a line of police officers while brandishing flagpoles.” Jonathan Pollock allegedly yelled “Let’s go!” while attempting “to push through a metal barricade.” Hutchinson then “grabbed the fence and pulled it back to provide rioters with unobstructed access to the line of police officers.” At that point, Jonathan Pollock allegedly “assaulted three police officers, pulling one down a set of steps, kneeing and punching another in the face, and punching and pushing a third by the neck.”
After the “metal barriers were overrun by rioters,” according to the DOJ’s summary, the “crowd was now held back by a line of police officers with riot shields.” Hutchinson allegedly “charged the line of police officers and began throwing punches.” Jonathan Pollock allegedly “seized a riot shield from an officer and engaged in a tug-of-war-style conflict before pulling the officer down the steps, breaking the officer’s grasp and taking the shield.” Jonathan Pollock “then held the riot shield in front of him, charged up the steps and slammed into the police line.” Perkins “picked up a flagpole and thrust it into the chest of a police officer,” and then “raised the flagpole over his head and appeared to strike an officer in the back of his head.”
“At approximately 2:11 p.m.,” according to the DOJ’s summary, Jonathan Pollock “grappled with another officer and swung his arm to strike the officer while another rioter simultaneously swung at the officer with a flagpole.” Hutchinson “kicked the line of police officers, and Jonathan Pollock seized a riot shield which he thrust into an officer’s throat and face before thrusting the shield towards another officer.” One minute later, “police officers began moving down the steps of the Capitol.” Hutchinson “stepped forward and punched an officer who stumbled” and “then grabbed the jacket sleeve of another officer before throwing them out of his way.” Olivia Pollock, who was following Hutchinson and “carrying a flagpole with an American flag,” allegedly “attempted to strip an officer of his baton.” Olivia Pollock was knocked back and then “raised her hands in a fighting posture, elbowed the officer in the chest and again tried to strip the baton from the officer.”
Just before 3:00 p.m., while “standing on the ledge of the upper west terrace” with his co-defendants, Jonathan Pollock yelled, “Let’s go.” Jonathan Pollock allegedly “climbed to the front of the bleachers, grabbed an officer by the shoulders and attempted to pull him over the railings.” At about 4:20 p.m., the DOJ alleges, Jonathan Pollock “slammed and pushed a riot shield into the line of officers, pinning the officers’ shields and preventing them from defending themselves against the attack” of other rioters. Jonathan Pollock “remained positioned with the riot shield at the entrance of the tunnel, blocking officers from advancing out of the tunnel, until at least 4:46 p.m.”
