(Reuters) – Enrique Tarrio was released Friday from prison after serving four months for burning a Black Lives Matter sign at a Washington historic African American church. This happened in December 2020.

Tarrio was one of the Proud Boys that stole the banner at a Washington demonstration on December 12, 2020. Tarrio, according to remarks he made afterwards, set it ablaze. Tarrio pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison in August. He began his sentence in September.

Tarrio didn’t take part in the deadly January 6, 2021 riots on the U.S. Capitol. Two days prior to the unsuccessful attempt by Congress to block Joe Biden’s victory in November 2020 over Donald Trump’s, Democrat nominee for president, he was brought into Washington and arrested.

According to the FBI, his arrest in January 2021 was made to prevent the Jan. 6 events when other Proud Boys members were arrested.

These members are facing charges of obstruction of justice, destruction of state property, and conspiracy.
