Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Grayson Sherrill is a Cherryville, North Carolina man who stood in front of a federal judge and didn't make excuses. "I hate what I did," he told the court, according to press coverage of his sentencing, his own words, on the record. That kind of plain accountability is rare in any courtroom, and it's worth putting on the record here too. Grayson Sherrill pleaded guilty February 3, 2023, to a felony charge connected to January 6. Press coverage of the case describes the underlying conduct as striking an officer during the Capitol breach, a detail this archive's DOJ-sourced charge list below does not separately itemize, so treat it as reported by the press, not yet confirmed against our record. He didn't drag the case out. He served his time and went home to Gaston County. On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation covered the January 6 prosecutions. Case 1:21-cr-282, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charges, per the DOJ record: Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. The docket, as recorded: Arrested 3/1/2021. Information filed 4/6/2021. Superseding indictment filed 12/15/2021. Pleaded Guilty 02/03/2023. This profile is unclaimed.
