Dillon Colby Herrington
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageDillon Colby Herrington is a working man from Madison, Alabama — the kind of North Alabama guy who shows up, works hard, and stands by what he believes. To his supporters he became known as the "MAGA Lumberjack," a nickname that stuck after January 6, 2021, when Dillon Herrington traveled to Washington, D.C. like tens of thousands of other Americans. FACT: Herrington was charged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in connection with the Capitol protest. Charges are charges — allegations tested by a court, not the full measure of a man from Madison, Alabama. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. Herrington's January 6 assault charge was covered by that clemency. His family and supporters have rallied around him through the Dillon Herrington Freedom Fund, asking the public to stand with a son of Madison, Alabama through a long legal fight. Case record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case no. 21-mj-465. Arrested June 8, 2021; initial appearance June 11, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever. FACT: In a matter unrelated to January 6, Herrington was tried on a rape charge and a jury found him NOT GUILTY on June 26, 2026. He was acquitted. (WAFF) This archive names the verdict, not just the accusation. An acquittal is part of the record, and it is the part that usually never gets reported as loudly as the charge did.
