Joshua Hall is a truck driver out of Sanford, North Carolina, a Lee County working man who moves freight for a living. He was 36 when the federal government came for him, and his January 6 case ended without a single day of incarceration. Here is the record, in order. FACT: a federal criminal complaint against Joshua Hall was filed May 18, 2023, and he was arrested May 26, 2023, in case 23-mj-00104 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. FACT: the complaint charged knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, knowingly engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and violent entry and disorderly conduct. Source: The Sanford Herald. FACT: Joshua Hall pleaded guilty to one count of remaining in a restricted building or grounds without authority. FACT: in January 2024 he was sentenced to one year of supervised probation, a $200 fine, $500 in restitution and a $25 special assessment. No jail. No prison. Source: The Rant, Sanford, N.C., January 24, 2024. THEIR ACCOUNT: according to the FBI affidavit described in the Sanford Herald, Joshua Hall acknowledged being inside the Capitol and denied taking part in any violence, theft, property damage or disorderly conduct. Two and a half years passed between January 6, 2021 and the knock on his door. Think about what it is to drive a truck and raise a life with that hanging over you the whole time, not knowing. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE on identity: the Sanford, North Carolina reporting and the case record in this archive share the same complaint filing date of May 18, 2023 and the same charge set. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: independent confirmation of middle name and date of birth. If this is the wrong Joshua Hall, claim the page and tell us and we will fix it the same day. The January 20, 2025 presidential proclamation granted full pardons for offenses related to the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: whether a certificate has issued in his name. Case record: 23-mj-00104, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed May 18, 2023. Arrested May 26, 2023.
