President Trump pardoned 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters on his first day in office.

Critics are raising concerns about the dangers posed by some of those convicted of violent felonies who have been released with no plan, and none of the monitoring or restrictions that typically accompany a more traditional parole process.

"I'm just afraid that I'm going to come home from work one night and he's going to be right there," says Shantelle Holeton .

Police photos show numerous firearms belonging to Pete Schwartz found on the property.

Schwartz was convicted for "terroristic threatening" and possessing a handgun.

His then girlfriend, Shelly Stallings , alleged Schwartz bit her forehead and punched her in the head.

"I walked around the house with a big butcher knife, because I was afraid that they were just gonna let him out and he was just gonna show up," she said.
