Albuquerque Cosper Head
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Albuquerque Cosper Head's profile is not an easy one to write. Here is what is true, with receipts. FACT: Head is a construction worker from Kingsport, in East Tennessee. (DOJ; WJHL) FACT: He took responsibility rather than force a trial — he pleaded guilty on May 6, 2022. (DOJ) FACT: He was sentenced October 27, 2022 to 90 months in prison for assaulting a law enforcement officer, one of the heavier January 6 sentences. Charges and convictions are what the court record says — nothing more, nothing less. (DOJ) FACT: Under the January 20, 2025 executive grant of clemency, Head was released from prison on January 21, 2025, per Bureau of Prisons records. (WJHL; WBIR) THE CASE RECORD: Case 1:21-cr-291, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Indicted 4/9/21; arrested 4/14/21. Superseding indictment filed 12/1/21. Pleaded guilty 5/6/22. Sentenced 10/27/22 to 90 months in prison and three years of supervised release, with restitution to be determined by the Court. Released January 21, 2025 following clemency. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
