Jason Curl is an Iowa man who answered for January 6 without any violence attached to his name. FACT: He was charged in a complaint filed July 19, 2023 and arrested the next day in Iowa. The counts were the standard non-violent set — entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly conduct, and parading in the Capitol. (DOJ; Insurrection Index; CourtListener) FACT: He was given 24 months of probation, 50 hours of community service, a fine and restitution — no prison term. FACT: The January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation covered January 6 defendants. Probation and community service is the whole of it. The rest of Jason's life — his work, his people, his account — is his to add. Case record: No. 1:23-mj-00173 (later 1:23-cr-00253), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested July 20, 2023 in Iowa. Sentenced to 24 months probation, 50 hours community service, fine and restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
