Documented editorial-use image

James Link Behymer is from Hope, Indiana — a small town in Bartholomew County. He was 61 when the FBI came for him. (FACT: DOJ; WTHR) Think about that timeline. January 6, 2021 happened. Behymer went home to Indiana and lived his life for more than three years. Then, on March 6, 2024, he was arrested. (FACT: DOJ) He was charged with civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, plus misdemeanors. Charges are charges — that is what the record says. (FACT: DOJ) On October 4, 2024 he pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers. Sentencing was set for February 13, 2025. (FACT: DOJ) That sentencing day never came. On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency proclamation ended the January 6 prosecutions, including pending cases like his. He was never sentenced. (FACT) THE CASE RECORD U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested by the FBI on 3/6/24. Charged with felony civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, plus misdemeanor counts including entering or remaining in a restricted building and parading.
