Blake Patterson — Fort Wayne, Indiana. Start with the ending, because the ending is the point. FACT: Blake Patterson was never convicted of anything. The federal charges against him were dropped. He walked out of this with no conviction on his record. FACT: The charges were all misdemeanors: entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or disruptive conduct, disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and parading or demonstrating. No weapon. No assault. No destruction of property. None of it was ever alleged. FACT: He was inside the building about 36 minutes, according to the government's own filings. He walked in through the Upper West Terrace door around 2:36 p.m., went through the Rotunda and Statuary Hall, and took selfies. FACT: He was charged in October 2024 — nearly four years after the fact. Court records show the FBI found him because someone submitted a tip and sent his own selfie photos in. FACT: Following the January 20, 2025 clemency, the federal case against Blake was dismissed. Four years of waiting for a knock. Charges filed. Charges dropped. No conviction. That is a man who lost years of sleep over a 36-minute walk and photographs he took himself. Blake is a Fort Wayne guy. Somebody there knows what he does for a living, who he takes care of, what he is actually like. That story belongs on this page more than a docket does. THE CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Charged October 2024 with four misdemeanor counts. Federal charges dismissed following the January 20, 2025 clemency. No conviction. Case number: not yet recorded in this archive. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: service record, occupation, and family details are not yet sourced. We will not invent them.
