Dustin Adams is a Hillsdale, Michigan man whose January 6 case was covered by the full presidential pardon on January 20, 2025. He is from Hillsdale County, southern Michigan farm country, and was one of the later January 6 arrests, his case coming in fall 2023, more than two and a half years after the events themselves. Case record: The criminal complaint against Dustin Adams was filed September 8, 2023 and he was arrested September 18, 2023, per the DOJ Capitol Breach docket, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Michigan press including WLNS, WOOD-TV, and Audacy reported that he and his wife were both charged in connection with January 6, 2021. The record, plainly: The DOJ press releases identify Dustin Adams of Michigan among the Hillsdale-area defendants charged in the Capitol Breach. Charges at the accusation stage are not findings of guilt. The presumption of innocence attached to every count charged. On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump granted a full pardon covering the January 6 prosecutions, and Dustin Adams of Hillsdale, Michigan was among those covered. Case: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. WLNS Lansing, WOOD-TV Grand Rapids, and Audacy WWJ Detroit coverage of Dustin Adams and his wife are linked in this archive. This profile is unclaimed.
