Daniel Dustin Deneui is a Colleyville, Texas man, 51 years old, from the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex. His is one of the very last January 6 cases the government ever opened. Look at the timeline, because the timeline is the story. The FBI received a tip about Deneui on July 10, 2024. That is three and a half years after January 6, 2021. A co-worker identified him in photographs. [FACT: NBC DFW, December 2024] He was arrested in Fort Worth in December 2024, weeks before the January 6 clemency. Four years after the fact. [FACT: NBC DFW, December 2024] Daniel Deneui was charged with felony and misdemeanor counts including assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon, destruction of property, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. [CHARGE ONLY: NBC DFW; The Dallas Morning News, December 30, 2024] Investigators alleged he carried a collapsible baton, used a flagpole against an officer and damaged window shutters. Every one of those is an allegation written by a prosecutor in a charging document. It is not a verdict. It is not a plea. [CHARGE ONLY] Daniel Dustin Deneui is presumed innocent. This archive has found no conviction for him in the public record. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions, including the dismissal of pending cases. Whether that clemency reached Daniel Dustin Deneui's case specifically is NEEDS AUTHENTICATION. THE RECORD U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. FBI tip received July 10, 2024. Arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, December 2024. Coverage conflicts on the exact arrest date: NBC DFW reports December 18, 2024, while other coverage describes the arrest as occurring after Christmas. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION. No case number recorded in this archive yet. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
