Eric Glen Harrower

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Eric Glen Harrower is a Missouri man from the Barnhart / Jefferson County area, south of St. Louis — the kind of quiet, hard-working corner of the country that rarely makes headlines. Eric Harrower is remembered by those around him as a man capable of humility. When he stood before the court, he spoke of a "deep sense of shame and remorse" — not defiance, but honest reckoning. That takes a kind of strength. On January 6, 2021, Harrower entered the U.S. Capitol and spent about 20 minutes inside the Crypt before leaving. Charges are charges: he pleaded guilty on November 16, 2023 to a single misdemeanor count of parading or demonstrating in a Capitol building, with the government dropping the remaining counts. In early 2024 he was sentenced to 12 months of probation and $500 in restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants, resolving cases like Eric Harrower's. CASE RECORD: United States v. Eric Glen Harrower, Case No. 23-mj-155 (later 1:23-cr-240), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed July 6, 2023; arrested July 7, 2023.
