Derek Noftsger is a Washington man from Snohomish, north of Seattle. On January 6, 2021, Derek was part of the crowd at the U.S. Capitol. He had traveled to Washington, D.C. believing he was standing up for something he cared about. The legal fight: Derek Noftsger was arrested August 15, 2024, in Snohomish — more than three and a half years after that day — and charged with obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and related counts. These were charges, not convictions, and he was presumed innocent. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. A man from Snohomish County, Washington — that's the person behind this file. Case record: United States v. Noftsger, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested August 15, 2024. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
