Heather Kepley is from Millsboro, Delaware, down in Sussex County, the farm and beach end of the state. She was 36 years old when federal agents came for her in April 2023, more than two years after January 6, 2021. Two misdemeanors. That is the whole case against Heather Kepley. FACT: Kepley is a resident of Millsboro, in Sussex County, Delaware. She was 36 at the time of her arrest. (WHYY; WRDE) FACT: She was charged with two misdemeanors: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. No felony. No assault count. No weapon count. (WHYY) FACT: The government's description of her conduct is that she carried a pink Trump flag, wore camouflage gloves, and walked toward a crowd near a tunnel entrance. (WHYY) FACT: She had her initial appearance in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware and was released on conditions. The prosecution was brought in Washington, D.C. (WHYY) FACT: Her brother, Anthony Nolf of Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, was charged in the same round of arrests. Two siblings, two dockets, one day. (WHYY; WFMZ) Think about the timeline. She went home from Washington in January 2021 and lived her life for two more years. Worked. Raised her family. Then the knock came in April 2023. CHARGE ONLY: everything the government said about Heather Kepley is an allegation. She is presumed innocent of anything she was not convicted of, and this archive has no record of a conviction. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. THE CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested: April 2023, District of Delaware initial appearance, released on conditions. Charges: two misdemeanors. Clemency: January 20, 2025. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: this archive does not yet have her case number or final disposition. If you have the docket, send it. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
