A traffic stop in Indiana led to a fatal altercation between Huttle and a Jasper County Sheriff’s deputy, who shot Huttle following a confrontation. Authorities confirmed that Huttle was armed but have not disclosed further details. The deputy has been placed on paid leave while the incident is under investigation. 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 have expressed condolences to his family.
