Authorities in Florida recently arrested a former assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted individuals involved in the January 6 riot.
The former prosecutor stands accused of stabbing a man during a road rage incident. Despite the egregious nature of the alleged assault, Patrick Scruggs posted $65,000 bail on the same day as his arrest in Tampa.
As Newsweek reports:
He is accused of breaking the window of a vehicle that hit his sedan on Interstate 275 on Tuesday morning andย stabbing the driver, theย Tampa Bay Timesย reported. Scruggs also allegedly attempted to stab a couple who stopped to help the victim and then fled the scene. He was apprehended by police shortly after and arrested on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault and armed burglary. The victim was hospitalized for serious injuries. [emphasis added]
Scruggs was released from the Pinellas County Jail on Tuesday evening after posting the $65,000 bail. He posted it before an advisory hearing so his bond doesn't include any conditions, but it's possible a motion will be filed to add conditions at a later date.
Newsweekย reached out to the Pinellas County Clerk of the Circuit Court via email for comment.
Alleged U.S. Capitol rioters weren't granted the same liberty as Scruggs, as some were held without bail as they awaited their trials. Most rioters who were arrested received some form of bail, but those who engaged in the most โviolent actsโ were detained without bond, D.C. news station WUSA 9 reported.
So far, the federal government has charged more than 1,100 people for participating in the storming of the U.S. Capitol. More than half have pleaded guilty. Some defendants still face trial.

Oh, so they let “leaving the scene of the crime” just slide??? This guy is out of control or maybe on drugs ! At any rate he belongs behind bars for the safety of the public until it can be determined how mentally stable he may NOT be as well as answering for charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, bodily harm, threatening the other couple, etc., etc.
