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.
