A protege of longtime Donald Trump ally and controversial GOP campaign strategist Roger Stone has been arrested on drug possession charges.
Jacob Engels, 34, is a notorious figure with ties to the far-right Proud Boys group.
The arrest was flagged by Peter Schorsch of Florida Politics, who posted to X on Friday, "Blogger, @RogerJStoneJr protege @JacobEngels (although even Roger hasn't been able to put his pet on a leash lately as Engels attacks @SusieWiles47, etc.) was arrested this week in Wisconsin for meth possession."
The case summary, posted on the Wisconsin court system website, shows Engels charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, as well as several misdemeanors, including resisting an officer, disorderly conduct, and possession of drug paraphernalia and illegally obtained prescriptions.
Engels has found himself in trouble with the law before. In 2023, he was held in contempt of court in Florida, but for months was a fugitive from the order, and even wrote a taunting email to the judge proclaiming he runs a "kangaroo court."
