A man convicted and sentenced to nine months in jail for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was arrested in Whistler, B.C., four years to the day after the riot.

Rather than reporting to jail in the U.S., Antony Vo headed north to seek asylum in Canada.

He told CBC News last week that he was hoping U.S. president-elect Donald Trump would pardon him.
