Texas man is wanted by authorities on a 2016 charge of soliciting a minor online, prosecutors say.

He was released on Jan. 20 despite Texas authorities' request to hold him for the pending warrant.

Taake was accused of attacking police officers with bear spray and a metal whip during the Capitol assault.

He is one of a handful of former defendants who have drawn attention from law enforcement since being pardoned last week .
