Felipe Marquez of Coral Springs, Florida, was a young South Florida man in his mid-twenties when he made the drive that changed his life — piloting his Tesla from Broward County to Washington, D.C., for January 6. FACT: Felipe Marquez was arrested on January 15, 2021, just nine days after the Capitol breach. He was never charged with violence against any person. FACT: His case was resolved with a single misdemeanor count. He entered a plea agreement on September 10, 2021, and on December 10, 2021, was sentenced to 18 months of probation, including three months of home detention, and $500 restitution — no prison time. Federal prosecutors had asked for jail; the judge said no. THEIR ACCOUNT: At sentencing, covered by Local 10 News in Miami, Felipe Marquez expressed regret for his role in the events of January 6. FACT: On January 20, 2025, he was covered by the full January 6 pardon proclamation. Case record: United States v. Marquez, No. 1:21-cr-136, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
