WASHINGTON, July 28 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday ordered pre-trial detention of a former Virginia police officer who had 34 firearms on order at a gun dealership months after his arrest and initial pre-trial release on charges related to the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
In a court order, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper found there was probable cause to believe that Robertson committed a felony - willfully shipping or transporting firearms and ammunition despite being under felony indictment - while on pretrial release .
The judge said that on June 30, prosecutors sought Robertson s arrest, resulting in the judge issuing a warrant leading to his arrest and detention on July 7 pending a ruling on the government s request to revoke his pre-trial release - the ruling the judge issued late on Wednesday.
