WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - A California man charged with assaulting police in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and using a metal barricade as a battering ram has fled the United States and is believed to have taken refuge in Belarus, federal prosecutors said on Friday.
Evan Neumann, 49, was indicted on Friday on 14 criminal counts stemming from the deadly Capitol siege by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, expanding on charges originally contained in a criminal complaint filed against Neumann in March.
Neumann, of Mill Valley, California, near San Francisco, was seen in video footage donning a gas mask while standing near police in front of barricades set up at the base of the West Front of the Capitol Building, prosecutors said in a statement.
According to documents filed in the case, Neumann later removes his gas mask and shouts at the police, "I'm willing to die, are you?" before he physically assaults several officers and rushes into them using a barricade as a battering ram.
Neumann, who has yet to make a court appearance in the case, fled from the United States on Feb. 16 and "is currently believed to be in Belarus," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said in a statement.

Brilliant ... fleeing the possibility of going to jail by going to a nation that is a jail.
He will end up in one of their land fills.
maga rally point...
Wait until he tries to push his white superiority there. The results will not be pretty.
He's "willing to die" but scared of jail. What a puzzy.
I say revoke his US citizenship and if he ever sets foot on US soil again, arrest him immediately.
Another patriot shows his true colors which are pure yellow.
Cowardly POS just happened to pick a country with which the US has no extradition treaty. How convenient.
1. Arrest and disbar the lawyer for advising his client to flee.
2. Send in a "team" to Belarus to snatch the POS and return him to justice.
Nah. This little cowardly pissant is not worth the cost to send in a "team".
The leaders of Belarus and Russia (Lukashenko and Putin) espouse the same neo-fascist ideology. It's a natural place for Trumpists to go.
Oh look, someone doesn't like our current two tier justice system. What a shock.
Just pretend he is a BLM/Antifa rioter that was released w/o charges by the DOJ/AG.
