A traffic stop in Indiana led to a fatal altercation between Huttle and a Jasper County Sheriff’s deputy, who shot Huttle after a confrontation. Authorities confirmed Huttle was armed but have not disclosed further details. The deputy has been placed on paid leave while the incident is investigated.
Huttle , who believed the FBI orchestrated the Capitol riot on January 6 and accused “actors” with excessive training of being involved, has drawn attention amid ongoing debates about the consequences of the attack and Trump’s pardons. Authorities expressed condolences to his family.
