Overview
- Newly unsealed Salt Lake County records accuse Banuelos of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault tied to a 2018 incident.
- Prosecutors say an August DNA test linked him to the alleged assault, with court filings describing beating, strangulation and death threats over hours.
- Cook County investigators arrested him Oct. 17 in Cicero after spotting him near a Burger King and stopping a ride-share car, and he remains jailed in Illinois.
- In the separate Jan. 6 case, the FBI said video showed him scaling scaffolding and firing two shots into the air, and CBS reports he was the only defendant accused of discharging a gun on Capitol grounds.
- His federal charges were dismissed after Trump's January clemency, and multiple outlets note he is among several Jan. 6 defendants facing unrelated arrests since the pardons.
