At approximately 4:27 p.m., an MPD Officer was positioned toward the opening of the Tunnel when a co-defendant charged at and knocked the officer to the ground. While the officer was lying supine on the ground attempting to defend themself, Sabol reached for the officer's baton, grabbed it, and ripped it out of the officer's hands. Court documents say that Sabol used such force in wresting the baton away from the officer's grasp that the officer's torso was lifted off the ground, and Sabol himself fell backward down the steps of the Lower West Terrace.
Sabol then climbed back up the steps, moved towards the Tunnel entrance, and assisted two rioters in dragging a law enforcement officer down the steps and into the mob, where the rioters beat the officer with a flagpole and a baton.
In the days following Jan. 6, 2021, Sabol deleted text messages and other communications from his cell phone. He also asked another individual to delete a "selfie video" that depicted Sabol immediately after he had been pepper sprayed and in which Sabol stated that he had "tried to rush the front gate, the front door." Sabol also destroyed his laptop computers in a microwave oven and dropped his cell phone into a body of water.
Sabol also booked a flight to Zurich, Switzerland, in an attempt to flee the United States. When he was unable to board the aircraft, he rented a car and drove toward Westchester, New York, where the FBI arrested him on Jan. 11, 2021.
