Jan. 6 riot suspect on house arrest in Colorado after mountain lion kill

KRDO

DENVER (AP) - A judge has ordered a Colorado hunting guide accused of assaulting a police officer during the U.S. Capitol riot be placed on house arrest after prosecutors say he violated the conditions of his release by having a gun and shooting a mountain lion.

Monday's order bars Patrick Montgomery from having firearms and hunting.

Prosecutors say he killed the mountain lion in March even though he was ordered not to have any guns while the charges against him related to the Jan. 6 riot are pending. They say Montgomery wasn't allowed to have firearms because of a 1996 robbery conviction.
