Alan Michael St. Onge is a Brevard man - Transylvania County, North Carolina, deep in the Blue Ridge, land of waterfalls, Pisgah National Forest, and people who mostly want to be left alone. He served his time. He came home. He is a pardoned January 6 defendant. WHO HE IS FACT - St. Onge, 36 at the time of his case, is a resident of Brevard, North Carolina, in Transylvania County (Transylvania Times; WLOS; QC News). FACT - He was not among the early-wave arrests. He was arrested in Brevard on June 16, 2023 - two and a half years after January 6, 2021 - which means he spent those years living and working openly in his own small mountain town. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION - Public reporting on Alan Michael St. Onge is almost entirely limited to court filings and DOJ press releases. His trade, his family, his service if any - none of it has been told. That is a gap in the record, not a gap in the man. If someone who knows him fills it in, this archive will publish it. THE LEGAL FIGHT FACT - On January 31, 2024, St. Onge pleaded guilty to two felony civil-disorder counts. FACT - On July 9, 2024, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution (DOJ; WRAL). FACT - On January 20, 2025, his conviction was covered by the full-pardon provision of the presidential clemency proclamation. He is one of a small number of western North Carolina residents charged over January 6, and one of the last to be charged at all. The delay is part of his story: a federal prosecution that reached back nearly three years to find a man in a town of about 7,600 people.
