Gregory Lamar Nix

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Gregory Lamar Nix is a 52-year-old man from Cleveland, Alabama, a small Blount County community north of Birmingham, who was identified and arrested for his actions at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 after another defendant in the case pointed federal investigators toward him. The charges are serious and this record states them plainly rather than softening them: civil disorder, assaulting a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, destruction of government property, and entering a restricted building with a weapon. Investigators say Nix used a flagpole against an officer during the breach. That allegation is CHARGE ONLY, drawn from the federal complaint, and it has not been independently verified beyond the charging document reviewed for this page. Here is what the public record does not show for Gregory Nix: a trial verdict, a guilty plea, or a sentencing outcome. Searches of national and Alabama news coverage turned up his arrest and the felony complaint against him, and nothing confirming how the case concluded. That gap is real, and it is marked NEEDS AUTHENTICATION below rather than assumed one way or the other. What is documented: Alabama news coverage from January 2025 reports President Trump's clemency proclamation reached at least 22 Alabamians charged over January 6. Whether Nix's case ended in a pardon or a dismissal, Blount County was part of that broader Alabama total. Which outcome applied to this specific case has not been confirmed here. This is the record, plainly stated: serious federal charges, an identification made by another cooperating defendant, and a resolution the public reporting gathered here has not pinned down. Cleveland, Alabama is a town of a few hundred people, and its one case number deserves the same care as any out of Washington. Gregory Nix has not claimed this profile. If he or his family can fill in what happened after the arrest, that costs nothing to add. CASE RECORD: Case No. 1:21-cr-00678, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Cleveland, Alabama. Charges per NPR Jan. 6 database and DOJ defendant index: Civil Disorder; Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers Using a Dangerous Weapon or Inflicting Bodily Injury; Destruction of Government Property; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds with a Deadly or Dangerous Weapon. Arrested November 10, 2021. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: plea, trial, and sentencing outcome not confirmed in sources reviewed. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: case likely addressed by the January 20, 2025 Alabama-wide clemency reporting; not individually confirmed. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
