Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Jack Mitchell Johnson is a young man from Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. He was one of the youngest people the federal government charged over January 6. He served seven days. IDENTITY NOTE, and it matters: this Jack Mitchell Johnson of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota is not Andrew Paul Johnson, a different pardoned January 6 defendant who has been the subject of unrelated national reporting. Same last name, different man, different case, different state. Do not confuse them. This archive checked. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the NPR January 6 archive lists Jack Mitchell Johnson's age as 22. This archive has not independently verified his date of birth and will not calculate how old he was on January 6, 2021 from a single unverified figure. FACT, per federal court documents: Johnson came to the FBI's attention after cell phone location records indicated he was at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Agents said he appears on video footage inside the building. American Airlines records indicated he traveled to Washington, D.C. from North Dakota the day before. FACT: the complaint was filed August 30, 2023. Jack Mitchell Johnson was arrested August 31, 2023, in Indiana, per the Justice Department's own defendant record, which lists the arrest location as Minet, Indiana. This archive flags that town name as NEEDS AUTHENTICATION. There is no Minet, Indiana that this archive can confirm, and DOJ's defendant pages carry known typos. THE LEGAL FIGHT FACT: Johnson pleaded guilty to two charges, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Both are petty offenses. The other two charges were dismissed. FACT: on September 23, 2024 he was sentenced to 7 days of incarceration, 12 months of probation, a $20 special assessment, $500 in restitution, and 60 hours of community service. FACT: on January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. Jack Mitchell Johnson received a full pardon. Seven days in custody. Two petty offenses. A young man from Detroit Lakes, Minnesota with a federal case file. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: no reporting found on his work, his schooling, his family, or his own account of that day. THE CASE RECORD Case 23-mj-00235, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed August 30, 2023. Arrested August 31, 2023. Pleaded guilty to two petty offenses.
