Daniel Collins

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Daniel Collins is a Greentown, Pennsylvania man from Pike County who fought his case for four years and walked out with no conviction on his record. Here is the record. FACT: Daniel Collins was charged in connection with the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. FACT: the charges against him were serious, including civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers. CHARGE ONLY, presumption of innocence applies: Collins was never convicted at trial. He pleaded not guilty and never changed that plea. This is the record, and the record does not lie. Collins was not arrested until August 6, 2024, more than three and a half years after January 6. That is how these Pike County cases went. Years of investigation, years of waiting, a man's name in a federal indictment while the rest of the country moved on. Same county, opposite rule. A Pike County man is chased for three and a half years over conduct near the Capitol, while people who burned squad cars during the summer of 2020 rioting never saw a federal grand jury at all. The legal fight and where it stands. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation granting a full and unconditional pardon and clemency to January 6 defendants. FACT: On January 21, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the government's own motion to dismiss the case against Daniel Collins with prejudice. The Department of Justice dropped its own case. Collins was never convicted of civil disorder, never convicted of assaulting an officer, never sentenced to a single day. What this does not prove: dismissal is not an acquittal on the facts, and it is not a finding of guilt either. The case never reached a jury. What it does prove: the government that spent three and a half years building this case chose, in the end, to walk away from it rather than try to prove it. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: beyond the criminal complaint and the local Pike County reporting on his arrest, no further coverage of Daniel Collins's family, service, or occupation has been located and confirmed yet. CASE RECORD: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Felony charges included civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, along with misdemeanor Capitol-grounds charges. Arrested August 6, 2024, tied to Greentown, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Pleaded not guilty throughout. Case dismissed with prejudice January 21, 2025, following the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation. Read it. Share it. Send receipts, evidence, witnesses. Put eyes on the record.
