Billy Joe Gober of Smithville, Texas was 65 years old when federal agents arrested him in 2023, more than two years after January 6. The government charged him with felony civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, plus misdemeanor counts, alleging confrontations at a police line on the Capitol steps (FACT, DOJ press release; FOX 7 Austin). Charges are charges. They are not convictions, and public reporting shows no trial verdict against him. On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation pardoned January 6 convictions and directed the Attorney General to seek dismissal of the January 6 cases still pending, the category this 2023 complaint fell into (FACT). THE CASE RECORD Case No. 1:23-mj-00209, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed June 2023; arrested in Texas. Docket: see accompanying documents. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
