Jacob Fracker

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Jacob Fracker is a combat Marine, a Virginia Army National Guard corporal, and a former police officer from Rocky Mount, Virginia — a young man who spent his adult life running toward the fights other people run away from. Start with the record. Jacob Fracker served in the United States Marine Corps and deployed to Afghanistan. He came home, put on a National Guard uniform, and then pinned on a badge with the Rocky Mount Police Department. Marine. Guardsman. Cop. That is a life of service by any honest measure. On January 6, 2021, Fracker, then off duty, traveled to Washington, D.C., and entered the U.S. Capitol. He became the first serving military member charged in connection with that day. Jacob Fracker pleaded guilty in March 2022 to a conspiracy charge and cooperated with the government. On August 16, 2022, the court sentenced him to 12 months of probation — the first 59 days on home detention — 120 hours of community service, and $2,000 in restitution. Prosecutors did not seek prison, citing his substantial cooperation. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. He lost the badge and the Guard slot he had earned. What he did not lose is the truth of the service he gave. Jacob Fracker of Rocky Mount, Virginia, wore his country's uniform in a war zone. Case record: United States v. Jacob Fracker, No. 1:21-cr-34, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
