Ian Richard MacBride is a Pennsylvania tradesman. He lives in Douglassville, in Berks County, and he manages jobs for a home renovation company over in Chester County. FACT, as reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer. He is 43. He builds things. He fixes things. He runs a crew. That is the work, and that is the man. Berks County people know the type. Up early. Hands dirty. Somebody who shows up. THE LEGAL FIGHT The knock came three years late. Ian MacBride was arrested in January 2024 on misdemeanor counts, including disorderly conduct on restricted grounds and theft of public property. The government alleged he carried off a Capitol Police "Area Closed" sign on January 6, 2021. CHARGE ONLY. He is presumed innocent on anything not resolved by a plea or a verdict. Read that again. Misdemeanors. A sign. Three years of getting up and going to work in Douglassville before the government came calling. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION on the final docket entry in this specific case. THE CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 2024 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Case number and full docket: NEEDS AUTHENTICATION. If you hold the docket, send it. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE Nothing in the public reporting says Ian Richard MacBride assaulted anyone. Nothing says he damaged the building. The charges reported were misdemeanors, and misdemeanor is not felony. This is the record. Show me the evidence. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
