A federal judge ordered a man accused of beating police officers during the US Capitol riot — and then trying to flee to Switzerland — to be detained until trial, calling him the “epitome of a flight risk,” court documents show.

Jeffrey Sabol, a geophysicist from Kittredge, Colorado, was deemed too dangerous to be released by a federal judge Wednesday after he and four others allegedly assaulted Metropolitan Police officers with a baton, a flag, a pole and a crutch during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“He stripped a vulnerable police officer of his police baton,” Judge Emmet Sullivan wrote in a 64-page ruling obtained by CNN. “He then used that stolen police baton to force another officer away from his post and into a mob of rioters who proceeded to viciously attack him.”

Sabol, who was charged with four others on April 1, fled from Colorado to Boston in the aftermath of the riot because he “reached a mental breaking point,” court documents show.

Once in Boston, prosecutors said, Sabol planned to fly to Switzerland in an attempt to avoid extradition, but scrapped the scheme upon seeing officers at the airport. He was taken into custody on Jan. 11 in New City, New York, where he was found covered in blood, court documents show.

“I am tired, I am done fighting,” Sabol told an officer, adding that his wounds were self-inflicted, court documents show. “[I was] fighting tyranny in the DC Capitol.”

Attorneys said Sabol, 51, is now living with relatives in New York and has “recovered from the episode,” but Sullivan was unmoved.

“The court sincerely hopes that is true,” Sullivan wrote in his ruling. “But the Court cannot ignore that Mr. Sabol presents a flight risk nonetheless. Considering the steps he took to flee to Switzerland to avoid arrest, Mr. Sabol is the epitome of a flight risk.”
