Justin Daniel Perrou is a Charleston, South Carolina man. Lowcountry. And he was charged more than three years after January 6, 2021. Three years. Think about what that means for a working man. Three years of building a life. Three years of thinking it was behind you. Three years, and then in March 2024 the FBI comes to Charleston and your name is in the Post and Courier and on Live 5 News. That is not a footnote. That is a man's whole timeline. WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS FACT: Justin Perrou is from Charleston, South Carolina and was charged in March 2024, per Live 5 News and the Post and Courier. CHARGE ONLY: The government alleged assault on officers and the use of a chemical irritant. Those are allegations in a charging document. Justin Daniel Perrou is presumed innocent of anything no court has found. A charge is a charge. This archive does not upgrade allegations into verdicts. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions, roughly ten months after he was charged. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: The archived DOJ Capitol Breach case list preserved in this row carries no case number, no court, no arrest date, and no disposition for Justin Daniel Perrou. The government scrubbed that list from justice.gov and this row was salvaged incomplete. The press reporting above names a Charleston, South Carolina January 6 defendant named Justin Perrou, and this archive links it on that basis. There is no second identifier from the DOJ record in this row to cross check against. If any of this is the wrong Justin Perrou, this archive will pull it the day someone tells us. THE LEGAL FIGHT Charged March 2024. Clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions issued January 20, 2025. No plea, no verdict, and no sentence is recorded in this archive for Justin Daniel Perrou. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: Everything the government said about this case was an allegation, and this archive holds it as one. WHAT IT DOES PROVE: A man in Charleston, South Carolina was charged three years after the fact, and the government's own public case list was later erased from the internet. That is exactly why this archive exists. THE CASE RECORD Case number: not preserved in the archived DOJ record for this row. Court: not preserved. Source: DOJ Capitol Breach case list salvage, plus Charleston press reporting from March 2024. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
