Michael Leon Brock
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageMichael Leon Brock is a north Mississippi man, 54 years old when he was arrested, out of Walls in DeSoto County right below the Memphis line. Read the record before you read the headlines. Michael Leon Brock was arrested July 20, 2021 on a criminal complaint. His case number is 1:21-mj-527. That is a magistrate number. It is not an indictment. [FACT: DOJ Capitol Breach record] The government alleged he charged at officers on the Upper West Terrace around 4 p.m. on January 6, 2021 carrying what appeared to be a four foot rod, and struck officers with it. That is an allegation in a charging document written by a prosecutor. CHARGE ONLY. [Source: DOJ press release, July 2021] Now here is what the public record does not show for Michael Leon Brock. It does not show a conviction. It does not show a guilty plea. It does not show a trial. It does not show a sentence. The DOJ Capitol Breach entry for Michael Leon Brock preserved in this archive ends at the arrest. [DOCUMENTED INFERENCE from the preserved DOJ case list] He is presumed innocent of every count. That is not a talking point. That is the law, and it applied to him the whole time. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. THE RECORD Case 1:21-mj-527, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested July 20, 2021. Charges per the DOJ record: Assaulting, Resisting or Impeding Certain Officers; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Act of Physical Violence in the Capitol Grounds or Buildings; Obstruction of Law Enforcement During Civil Disorder. All charges, no recorded disposition. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
