James Brett IV is a Clearwater man out of the Tampa Bay area of Florida. When the government indicted him, the court let him walk out on his own signature. That matters. On June 9, 2022, six days after his arrest, James Brett IV was released on personal recognizance. No bond. No detention. He later petitioned the court to drop the drug testing condition on his release and the court agreed. A man the government called dangerous enough to indict, the court trusted to go home and stay home. [FACT - docket record, D.D.C., case 22-cr-11; American Gulag case file] He pleaded not guilty and fought it. THE LEGAL FIGHT James Brett IV was indicted May 25, 2022 and arrested June 3, 2022 in Florida. He was charged in a multi defendant case before Judge Richard Leon alongside Dion Rajewski, Zachary Johnson, Alan Fischer III and Brian Boele. The counts against him included civil disorder, unlawful entry into restricted Capitol grounds, disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
