Jamie Lynn Ferguson

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

**Jamie Lynn Ferguson** wore the uniform of the West Virginia Army National Guard. She is a Henry County, Virginia woman — Blue Ridge foothills, tobacco and furniture country down by Martinsville — and she was a serving Guard member when she walked into the Capitol Rotunda on January 6, 2021. **Her story.** Ferguson''s National Guard service is documented in the reporting on her case, including WV MetroNews and Virginia outlets WDBJ7, WSET and WHSV (FACT). Guard members are the neighbors who show up for floods, ice storms and armories full of cots. That was her before January 6, and it is the part of her record that never gets a headline. The federal record of what she actually did is narrow. She entered through the East Rotunda doors, walked the Rotunda from roughly 2:42 to 3:18 p.m., and was out of the building by about 3:33 p.m. (FACT — DOJ statement of facts). She wore a sweatshirt reading "Yes, I''m a Trump girl." That is the whole of it: no assault, no weapon, no destruction. The count she pleaded to — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building — is a petty offense. She did not fight it out for years. She signed a plea agreement in July 2022 and paid her $500 restitution toward Capitol damage as part of the deal. **Where the fight stands.** Jamie Lynn Ferguson was sentenced on December 23, 2022 — the day before Christmas Eve — to 24 months of probation, 60 hours of community service and $500 restitution. No incarceration. The presidential clemency proclamation of January 20, 2025 covered January 6 convictions including misdemeanors like hers, and the J6 pardon closed out the federal case. A Guard member from Henry County, Virginia stood up in court, took a misdemeanor, did her community service hours, and went home. **Case record.** United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 22-cr-194 (originally 22-mj-101). Complaint filed May 10, 2022. Arrested May 12, 2022. Information filed May 31, 2022. Pleaded guilty July 6, 2022. Sentenced December 23, 2022 to 24 months probation, 60 hours community service, $500 restitution. DOJ record: justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/ferguson-jamie.
