David Christian Tyner

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

David Christian Tyner is from Highlands Ranch, Colorado, arrested with his son in a January 6 case that closed with a misdemeanor plea, not a felony. FACT (9News; KKCO): David and his son Christian Tyner entered the Capitol together through the east Rotunda door on January 6, 2021, and were inside for about 16 minutes. An affidavit says David confronted a law enforcement officer during that time, and that Christian was hurt in the crush as police moved the crowd off the East Steps; the FBI reviewed video and could neither confirm nor rule out that account. FACT: warrants were issued June 21, 2023, and both were arrested July 20, 2023 (KKCO 9News). FACT: David Tyner pleaded guilty on October 26, 2023, to two misdemeanors, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, and parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building. No felony. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: local coverage reported a sentencing hearing set for February 16, 2024; we have not independently confirmed the final sentence handed down that day and will update this record when the docket is verified. David Christian Tyner did not go it alone, and this archive keeps father and son as two separate, complete records rather than blending them into one. Christian Peter Tyner, his son, has his own page here with his own case number, and readers looking for the son's side of this story should look there rather than assume the two cases are identical. WHERE THINGS STAND: a father and son who went in together, came out together, and pleaded guilty together, with a short visit and a record kept straight. CASE RECORD Case 23-mj-00141, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Warrants issued June 21, 2023; arrested July 20, 2023. Pleaded guilty October 26, 2023, to two misdemeanor counts.
