Cameron Campanella II is a York County, Pennsylvania man who was inside the U.S. Capitol for **about one minute** on January 6, 2021 — and who now holds a full presidential pardon. FACT: U.S. Capitol Police video established the timeline. He entered through the Senate Wing Doors at approximately 3:00 p.m., walked down a corridor, came back toward the same doors, and left through the Senate Wing Doors at approximately 3:01 p.m. Sixty seconds. That is the government''s own account of his time in the building. ## Who he is FACT: Cameron Campanella II was 46 at sentencing and is from York County, Pennsylvania — south-central PA, the Susquehanna Valley. The York Dispatch and FOX43 covered his case as a local story. FACT: He was never charged with any felony. He was never charged with assaulting anyone. He was never charged with damaging anything. The entire charging document against him was **four misdemeanors**. FACT: He served no jail time. He is one of the roughly 85 Pennsylvanians arrested in the January 6 investigation, and among the least serious cases in the entire docket. The archive says that out loud, because the aggregate headlines never did. ## The legal fight, and where it stands FACT: A criminal complaint was filed June 2, 2023 — nearly two and a half years after January 6. He was arrested June 9, 2023. FACT: In October 2023 Campanella pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors: disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. FACT: On January 30, 2024 he was sentenced to **one year of probation and a $500 fine.** No incarceration. FACT: On **January 20, 2025**, the presidential January 6 clemency proclamation granted full pardons for offenses in this category. Two petty misdemeanor convictions of this kind fall squarely within the full-pardon provision. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE — this archive has not separately confirmed an individual Office of the Pardon Attorney certificate entry for Campanella, and says so rather than overclaiming. ## Case record - Case number: 23-mj-112 (magistrate) - Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Complaint filed: June 2, 2023 · Arrested: June 9, 2023 - Charges: four misdemeanors — no felony, no assault, no property count - Plea: October 2023 — two misdemeanors - Sentence: January 30, 2024 — 12 months probation, $500 fine - Clemency: January 20, 2025 J6 proclamation, full-pardon provision (individual certificate not separately verified here) - DOJ record: justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/campanella-11-cameron Searching *Cameron Campanella January 6*, *York County Pennsylvania January 6 defendant*, *J6 pardon Pennsylvania*, *pardoned January 6 misdemeanor*, or *one minute inside the Capitol*?
