Cory Konold was 28 years old and living in Tucson, Arizona when his life collided with January 6. He didn't go to Washington alone. He went with his sister, Felicia — two siblings from Arizona who drove into a day that would follow both of them home. (FACT — Tucson.com; DOJ) Here is what we can say plainly: the government charged Cory, and he chose to take responsibility. He pleaded guilty to a single felony count of obstructing officers during a civil disorder, and was sentenced to 30 days and 24 months of supervised release. The police helmet he had carried out was returned — a family member turned it over at his direction. (FACT — DOJ; Tucson.com) On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation reached the Konold siblings along with the rest of the January 6 cases. (FACT — Tucson.com) Cory is not a headline. He is a young man from Tucson who stood next to his sister on the worst day and has been carrying it ever since. THE RECORD (charges are charges): Case No. 1:21-cr-160, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 2/11/2021. Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 30 days incarceration and 24 months supervised release. DOJ file: justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/konold-cory This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
