Andrew Joseph Shea

January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Andrew Joseph Shea is a man from Granite City, Illinois, a Mississippi River steel town across from St. Louis. Andrew Joseph Shea was arrested November 1, 2024, in his hometown of Granite City, Illinois, for events the government says happened on January 6, 2021, nearly four years earlier. The federal criminal complaint, sworn before U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya, says Shea was at the Capitol that day along with two co-defendants charged separately, Jared Owens and Jason Wallis. The charges alleged: entering a restricted building, and disorderly conduct at the Capitol. No assault allegation appears in the government's own complaint. No weapon. Andrew Shea never had the chance to plead one way or the other in open court. On January 22, 2025, two days after President Trump's clemency proclamation covering the January 6 prosecutions, the court granted the government's own motion to dismiss his case with prejudice. That is the entire record: a Granite City, Illinois man, arrested by his own government nearly four years after the fact, and a case that ended in dismissal before it ever reached a plea or a trial. No conviction. No sentence. The record does not lie, and in Andrew Joseph Shea's case, the record shows a case the government dropped on its own motion. This profile is a receipt, not a verdict.
