A federal judge on Wednesday ordered pre-trial detention of a former Virginia police officer who had 34 firearms on order at a gun dealership months after his arrest and initial pre-trial release on charges related to the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
In a court order, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper found there was "probable cause to believe that Robertson committed a felony - willfully shipping or transporting firearms and ammunition despite being under felony indictment - while on pretrial release".
Prosecutors cited social media postings by Robertson touting the Capitol riot and appearing to endorse further political violence. In a June 29 search of Robertson's home, the judge said, the FBI found a loaded M4 military-style assault rifle as well as what "appears to be a partially assembled pipe bomb."
