Andrew Ryan Bennett
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageAndrew Ryan Bennett is from Columbia, Maryland. FACT / THEIR ACCOUNT: Bennett livestreamed himself on January 6, and the government's own description of those videos records something worth keeping on the record: at points he told the people around him not to be destructive inside the Capitol, and urged others not to fight with the officers (WUSA9; government sentencing memorandum). The legal fight, plainly: Bennett was charged and pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. On October 1, 2021 he was sentenced to two years of probation, with the first three months in home confinement, 80 hours of community service, and $500 in restitution to the Architect of the Capitol (WUSA9; Baltimore Sun). On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:21-cr-227, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 26, 2021. Charged by criminal information March 17, 2021. Pleaded guilty to Count 4 on July 22, 2021. Sentenced October 1, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
