I'm going slit your throat': Man who threatened 911 operator the day before beating a cop during the Jan. 6 riot is in trouble again, according to court documents.

Jonathan Munafo, a 36-year-old (now ~39) with a history of violence tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was arrested Tuesday near Richmond, Virginia, by U.S. Marshals for violating supervised release in a separate federal threats case.​

His Past Crimes

  • Jan. 5, 2021 Threats: From North Carolina, called a Calhoun County, MI, 911 dispatcher repeatedly, threatening to “cut your throat,” make her “eat your f— nose,” and harm her family. Referenced the Insurrection Act amid Trump’s election claims. Pleaded guilty May 2022; got 2 years prison + 3 years supervision (Western District of MI).
  • Jan. 6 Capitol Riot: Next day in D.C., punched an MPD officer twice, stole his riot shield (snapped officer’s head back), cheered rioters, tried breaking windows with poles. Pleaded guilty 2023 to assault/civil disorder felonies; sentenced ~3 years prison + 3 years supervision. Pardoned by President Trump on inauguration day 2025 (with ~1,500 others).

Recent Violations and Arrest

  • Post-prison (Michigan case), supervised in Northern District of NY. Allegedly flooded a jail cell, broke a sprinkler, faked medical emergency “for attention” (May 2025); served extra 7 months, released to probation last November.
  • Absconded supervision; probation officer petitioned revocation. Arrested for fleeing to VA; preliminary hearing set Monday in Richmond federal court.​

Pardons didn’t erase other cases, and repeat offenders like Munafo highlight supervision challenges. Pattern of threats and assaults—dangerous guy. What’s your take on recidivism post-pardon?
