Christopher George Rockey is a 54-year-old man from Cross, South Carolina — a small Lowcountry community — who traveled to Washington to hear the President speak on January 6, 2021. Christopher made the long trip from South Carolina to the Ellipse and later walked to the Capitol grounds. He pleaded guilty in 2024 to a felony count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers and was sentenced to 18 months, followed by supervised release and restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted sweeping clemency to January 6 defendants — pardons and commutations that closed this chapter for Christopher Rockey and hundreds of others from across the country. Case record: United States v. Christopher George Rockey, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, before Judge Rudolph Contreras. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
