Carrie Ann Williams is a Baltimore, Maryland woman who walked through the Capitol Rotunda for about six minutes on January 6, 2021 and then left. FACT: Carrie and her fiance traveled from Baltimore to Washington that day. Court records describe them walking through the Rotunda for about six minutes before leaving the way they came in. Prosecutors did not accuse either of them of violence or property destruction (CBS News; Baltimore Sun). FACT: Carrie pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor count, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. She was sentenced to 24 months of probation, a $500 restitution payment, and a $10 special assessment. No jail time. FACT: The original charges against her, per the DOJ record, also included entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, all resolved through the single misdemeanor plea. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. FACT: The Baltimore Sun and CBS Baltimore both covered her and her fiance's arrest together in 2022, describing a case investigators moved on more than a year after the events themselves, built on surveillance footage from inside the Rotunda rather than any allegation of confrontation with police. WHERE THINGS STAND: Six minutes inside a building, a guilty plea to the lightest count on the docket, probation, and clemency. That is the full record for Carrie Ann Williams, no more and no less, and it is printed here in full. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-mj-136, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed June 10, 2022. Arrested August 30, 2022. Pleaded guilty December 21, 2022. Sentenced to 24 months probation, $500 restitution. Covered by the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation.
