Kenneth Scott Armstrong III runs a business on California's San Mateo coast, in the small town of Pescadero, teaching people how to grow food a different way. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: public trainer and business listings tied to a Ken Armstrong of Pescadero, near Half Moon Bay, describe him as the owner of an aquaponics farm and education center, growing fish and produce together and teaching the method to others. News coverage of his arrest independently confirms he "operated a business in Half Moon Bay, California," which matches. FACT: Armstrong attended the rally in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, walked with the crowd to the Capitol, and entered through the Senate Wing Door. He stayed inside 5 to 15 minutes. FACT: He voluntarily gave FBI agents his own cell phone video from inside the building, drew agents a map of his route, and told them he expected they would contact him. Court records describe him walking peacefully with the crowd. FACT: Kenneth Scott Armstrong III pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building on March 10, 2023. FACT: He was sentenced to 14 days incarceration, 3 years supervised release, and $500 restitution. Support letters were submitted to the court on his behalf before sentencing. No violence. No resistance. A man who handed over his own video and walked the FBI through his own route. That is the record on Kenneth Armstrong. CASE RECORD: United States v. Armstrong, 1:22-mj-00015, 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.
