Lincoln Adams Deming is a 44-year-old man from Kittery, Maine, a small York County town on the New Hampshire border, who was arrested in May 2024, more than three years after January 6, 2021, and pleaded not guilty to the felony and misdemeanor charges filed against him. The charges themselves: civil disorder, entering and remaining in a restricted building, entering and remaining in the gallery of Congress, disorderly conduct, and parading. Civil disorder is the felony count in the group; the rest are misdemeanors. No assault charge appears in the case. No weapons charge appears in the case. That is the full extent of what the federal complaint alleges against Deming, and it is marked CHARGE ONLY because Maine news coverage confirms he pleaded not guilty rather than accepting a plea deal. Maine outlets covered the arrest closely when it happened, a rarity for a state with relatively few January 6 defendants. What that coverage does not include is any personal detail: no occupation, no family information, no account from Deming himself about January 6 or about his life in Kittery beyond the case. That absence is real and it's stated here plainly instead of filled in with a guess. A not-guilty plea means exactly what it says under the law: the presumption of innocence stands, and the government carries the burden of proof, same as it does for every defendant in every federal courtroom in this country. Nothing in the record reviewed for this page moves that needle either direction beyond what the felony complaint itself alleges. Given the timing, an arrest in May 2024 on a case that pleaded not guilty rather than settling, it is plausible this matter was still working through pretrial proceedings when President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation directed dismissal of pending January 6 cases nationwide. Whether that applied to Deming's specific case has not been independently confirmed and is marked below. Lincoln Deming has not claimed this profile. If he or his family want his own account on the record, that costs nothing to add. CASE RECORD: Kittery, Maine (York County). Arrested May 13, 2024. Charges (CHARGE ONLY, not guilty plea entered per Maine news coverage): Civil Disorder; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Entering and Remaining in the Gallery of Congress; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Picketing, or Demonstrating in a Capitol Building. Source: Bangor Daily News, Portland Press Herald. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: occupation, family background, and final case disposition not confirmed in sources reviewed. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
