Kelly Lynn Fontaine
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageKelly Lynn Fontaine of Lockport, Illinois spent eleven minutes inside the Capitol — and when the government came for her three years later, she stood up in court beside her partner and owned every one of them. FACT: Kelly Fontaine, then 54, and Bryan Dula of Lockport were charged in early 2024 over the eleven minutes they spent inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021 (Chicago Sun-Times). In June 2024, each pleaded guilty to misdemeanors — disorderly conduct and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building (Chicago Sun-Times; ABC7 Chicago). No violence, no property destruction was charged against her. THEIR ACCOUNT: through counsel, the Lockport couple told the court they went to Washington because President Trump invited them (ABC7 Chicago; Shaw Local). On October 1, 2024, Judge Reggie Walton sentenced Kelly Fontaine to 21 days (Shaw Local; Patch). Then, on January 20, 2025 — barely three months later — the presidential clemency proclamation pardoned January 6 convictions like hers, wiping the slate. Case record: prosecuted 2024 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
