Levi Plumley is a Covington man. Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, up in the mountains where the Jackson River runs. [FACT - WDBJ7, WSLS, The Roanoke Times, Daily Progress] Covington, Virginia. Small town. That is home. WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS Levi Plumley was not arrested in 2021. He was not arrested in 2022. A complaint was filed against him September 6, 2023, and he was arrested September 7, 2023, more than two and a half years after January 6. [FACT - DOJ case record] He was charged with four counts: knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building or grounds, and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. [CHARGE ONLY - WDBJ7 reporting on the charging documents] He was arraigned September 25, 2023 and pleaded not guilty. [FACT - WDBJ7] The government's account is that security footage showed him entering through the east Rotunda door, moving back and forth in the Rotunda, and exiting. [CHARGE ONLY - government allegation as reported by WDBJ7] Plumley later admitted taking part. [FACT - The Roanoke Times, September 2024] He is quoted in an online video saying he had "never been famous for anything but I guess now I'm the pepper spray guy." [THEIR ACCOUNT - as quoted in the charging affidavit and reported by WDBJ7] TWO AND A HALF YEARS Think about what it means to wait thirty two months for a knock. That is thirty two months of not knowing. That belongs in the record too. CLEMENCY The January 20, 2025 proclamation granted full pardons for offenses related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, and directed dismissal of pending cases in that class. [FACT - Federal Register 2025-01950] Levi Plumley's case falls within the class described.
