Anthony Vuksanaj

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Anthony Vuksanaj is from Mahopac, New York, in the Hudson Valley, and was pardoned in January 2025 after pleading guilty to a single January 6 misdemeanor. FACT: on January 6 he made a roughly 10-hour round-trip drive from Putnam County to Washington to hear the President speak (Law & Crime; Highlands Current). FACT: he pleaded guilty on January 20, 2022, to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor. FACT: Chief Judge Beryl Howell sentenced him on April 29, 2022, to three years of probation, with 42 days of intermittent confinement and three months of home detention. No assault, no weapon charged in the Capitol case. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION, CHARGE ONLY: separate from January 6, Anthony Vuksanaj was charged on June 6, 2021, with first-degree robbery in Mount Vernon, New York, after Westchester County Police said he and two others were involved in an alleged knife-point incident (The Examiner News, Daily Voice). It was that arrest, and the cellphone seized in it, that first placed him at the Capitol on January 6 in FBI records. This is a charge, not a conviction, and he is entitled to the presumption of innocence; we have not located a confirmed outcome for that case and will update this record when we do. Readers searching Anthony Vuksanaj deserve the full, sourced picture, not just the flattering half of it. WHERE THINGS STAND: he was among 14 Hudson Valley residents covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency for his Capitol case (Patch).
