Jennifer Peck Buteau

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Jennifer Peck Buteau is a Florida woman from Ocala whose January 6 case is a single misdemeanor, distinct and lesser from the felony her husband faced in the same courthouse. FACT: According to court documents, Jennifer Peck Buteau entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 through a broken door alongside her husband, Jamie Buteau. FACT: Her husband is separately alleged to have thrown a folding chair at Capitol Police officers, striking one of them; that allegation belongs to his case, not hers, and this record keeps the two separate rather than blending a husband's more serious conduct onto his wife's page. FACT: Jennifer Buteau was charged with Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds, Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds, Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building, and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building, all misdemeanors. FACT: She pleaded guilty. FACT: In November 2023 she was sentenced to 90 days in prison for the misdemeanor count of demonstrating in the Capitol building. No felony charge against Jennifer Buteau. No assault charge against Jennifer Buteau. The 90-day sentence she served was for a misdemeanor, a fraction of what her husband received for the separate, more serious conduct alleged against him alone. Jennifer Peck Buteau is from Ocala, Florida, and this archive holds her to account for exactly what the record shows she did, no more and no less, which is the same standard applied to every name published here. January 20, 2025: President Trump issued a sweeping clemency proclamation covering January 6 defendants nationwide. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: whether Jennifer Buteau's case was affected by that proclamation is not confirmed in the sources reviewed for this profile. Case record: Case No. 21-mj-487, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested June 23, 2021, Ocala, Florida. Charges: Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. Disposition: guilty plea, misdemeanors. Sentenced November 2023 to 90 days. Her case, her record, kept separate from her husband's. That is what a fair record looks like. This profile is unclaimed.
