Christopher Gutierrez
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Christopher Gutierrez is a 37-year-old man from Salinas, California, arrested more than two and a half years after the day federal prosecutors say he carried a flag through the U.S. Capitol. Court records say Christopher Gutierrez was inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021 for about 45 minutes, and that surveillance footage showed him carrying a "Join or Die" flag, the old Revolutionary War banner, as he walked through. That's the government's own description of the day, no more and no less. He was arrested September 27, 2023, in Mono Hot Springs, California, a remote spot in the Sierra National Forest. Gutierrez pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts: Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. On August 21, 2024, he was sentenced to 3 years probation, 60 days of home detention, a $20 special assessment, a $1,500 fine, and $500 in restitution. No prison time. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted Christopher Gutierrez a full pardon covering his January 6 case. That's the record on the man from Salinas: two misdemeanor pleas, probation instead of prison, and a full pardon from the President. This site exists so the government's own paperwork sits right next to whatever else gets said about a man's name, and people can weigh both for themselves.
