John Franklin Lammons is a Galveston County, Texas small-business owner and jiu-jitsu coach, a man who built things in his community with his own two hands. John owns and operates Anaconda Jiu-Jitsu and the Rage Cage in the Galveston area, coaching students on the mat and running a local gym. He is a working entrepreneur, not a career activist. [FACT, local reporting] On January 6, 2021, Lammons traveled to Washington, D.C., for the rally. By his own account, the Capitol doors were open and "someone said come in"; he entered, met no resistance, and later left through a window because the doorways were jammed with people. [THEIR ACCOUNT, per FBI statement of facts and local reporting] He was charged with misdemeanors: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing. He pleaded guilty to a single count and accepted a sentence of one month followed by 36 months of probation. [FACT] Case record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case no. 1:22-mj-44. Arrested March 24, 2022. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. [FACT] John Lammons is a coach and a Galveston small-business owner first. This profile leads with the man who shows up for his gym and his students. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
