Alan Scott Culbertson of Laurens, South Carolina was 59 when this case found him — nearly two years after January 6. He was picked up on October 24, 2022 and released the same day on a $25,000 unsecured bond. The government never argued he needed to sit in a cell (FACT — Post and Courier). He had traveled to Washington with friends from Fountain Inn for the rally and entered the building around 2:20 p.m. (FACT — Post and Courier). He resolved it the direct way: a guilty plea on July 31, 2023 to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building — a misdemeanor. The sentence: a year and a half of probation and $510 in fines. No prison (FACT — Post and Courier). On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation issued full pardons for January 6 convictions, including misdemeanor cases like this one (FACT). THE CASE RECORD U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 10/24/22; released same day on $25,000 unsecured bond. Pleaded guilty 7/31/23 to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Sentenced to 18 months of probation and $510 in fines (per Post and Courier reporting). This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
