Bradley Stuart Bennett is from Trinity, North Carolina — and when the FBI came looking, he did not run. FACT: Bradley Bennett turned himself in on April 12, 2021. He was 41, one of a dozen North Carolinians charged in the early wave of January 6 cases. FACT: He later pleaded guilty to charges in his case, and North Carolina's FOX8 reported that the felony obstruction charge against him was dismissed — the same obstruction theory that was later narrowed by the courts across the January 6 docket. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation covered January 6 cases, including this one. A Trinity, North Carolina man who walked into custody on his own two feet, resolved his case, and watched the heaviest charge fall away — the full record for Bradley Stuart Bennett is linked below. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:21-cr-312, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Surrendered April 12, 2021. Indicted April 21, 2021. Official DOJ case page linked on this profile.
