## Matthew R. Bokoski: sourced January 6 case record Matthew R. Bokoski was prosecuted with his father, [Bradley James Bokoski](/case/people/bradley-bokoski), in *United States v. Bokoski*, No. 1:22-cr-00207-CRC, before Judge Christopher R. Cooper. This profile distinguishes the government’s charging allegations from Matthew’s admitted plea facts, the court’s sentence, statements attributed to him, and the later presidential pardon. A charge, plea, sentence, pardon, or media label is not treated as a complete judgment about his character. ## Procedural timeline - **May 16, 2022:** A complaint and FBI Statement of Facts were filed in magistrate matter No. 1:22-mj-00108. - **May 25, 2022:** Matthew was arrested in Chicago on the same date Bradley was arrested in Utah. - **June 6, 2022:** A misdemeanor information was filed. - **October 13, 2022:** Matthew pleaded guilty to one count under 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G). - **May 25, 2023:** He received 36 months of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. No incarceration was imposed. - **January 20, 2025:** The covered conviction received a full presidential pardon. The Office of the Pardon Attorney later listed “BOKOSKI, MATTHEW” among certificate recipients. ## Charges and disposition The complaint-stage record listed four misdemeanor charges: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building. Those charges were allegations at filing. Matthew later admitted the factual basis for the parading count. Contemporary reporting states that prosecutors agreed to dismiss the other three counts. ## What the source record says The FBI filing and plea reporting describe Matthew attending events in Washington with his father, entering the Capitol, and leaving after approximately four to five minutes. Charging papers also reproduced social-media material attributed to Matthew. Those statements remain attributed to the filing and to Matthew; they are not expanded beyond their documented context. Public reporting states that Matthew and Bradley were not charged with violence or vandalism in this prosecution. The archive preserves that limited procedural point without inferring facts not established by the sources. ## Sentence and pardon Contemporary court reporting confirms 36 months of probation and $500 restitution. A federal January 6 sentencing-comparison table lists 60 hours of community service. The signed judgment and sentencing transcript remain necessary for final page-level verification. The January 20, 2025 proclamation granted full pardons to covered convicted January 6 defendants other than the fourteen named commutation recipients. The Office of the Pardon Attorney’s FOIA release includes “BOKOSKI, MATTHEW,” confirming certificate-recipient status. The individual certificate PDF remains pending. ## Frequently asked factual questions ### What did Matthew Bokoski plead guilty to? One misdemeanor count under 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G), commonly described as parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building. ### Were the other charges resolved? Plea reporting states that prosecutors agreed to dismiss the other three misdemeanor counts. ### Did he receive a prison sentence? No. The reported sentence was probation, community service, and restitution. ### Was he prosecuted with his father? Yes. Matthew and Bradley were charged in the same case, pleaded guilty on the same date, and were sentenced on the same date. Their profiles are maintained separately. ### Was he pardoned? Yes. His conviction was covered by the January 20, 2025 proclamation, and his name appears on the Office of the Pardon Attorney’s certificate-recipient list. ## Source and editorial boundaries The FBI Statement of Facts contains probable-cause allegations. The information is a charging instrument. Plea papers identify admitted facts. News reports summarize public filings but do not replace the signed judgment or transcript. The site’s separate editorial analysis may describe J6ers as victims of alleged or documented Biden-era DOJ weaponization. That position remains separate from the factual source record and does not create missing evidence or erase material facts. ## Help complete the record The archive is seeking native plea papers, signed judgment, sentencing transcript, complete docket, individual certificate, authenticated firsthand interviews, and corrections from Matthew or his family.
