Grady Douglas Owens
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageGrady Douglas Owens is a Texas kid who went to Florida to study his craft at Full Sail University, and he was 22 years old when he was sentenced. A college student. That is who Grady Owens was. He was enrolled at Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida, chasing a creative trade, when the case that changed his twenties caught up with him. FACT: Grady Douglas Owens is a Texas native who was attending Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida when he was arrested on April 1, 2021 (Orlando Weekly; U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia). FACT: He pleaded guilty in November 2022 to assaulting, resisting or impeding officers and to disorderly conduct (U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia; KHOU, Houston). FACT: He was sentenced in June 2023 to 37 months and two years of supervised release (Orlando Weekly; U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia). FACT: His father, Jason Owens, was charged and sentenced in the same matter. This was a father and son case (U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia).
