Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Michael Timbrook is a Cookeville, Tennessee man from the Upper Cumberland who traveled to Washington on January 6, 2021, and stood by what he did when the local press knocked on his door. Michael Timbrook did not hide behind lawyers or run from a camera. He talked to his own Tennessee news station on the record about the day, said his piece, and let the neighbors hear it in his own words. That kind of directness is rare in a federal case. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and served weekend jail. The docket is short. The record is his own. Charges, per the DOJ record: Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority; Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds. Case 1:21-cr-361 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Docket: Arrested 4/20/21 and made his initial appearance the same afternoon. Charged via criminal information 5/14/21 and arraigned 5/25/21 where he pleaded not guilty as to all counts. Pleaded guilty 2/9/22. Sentenced 5/20/22 to 12 months of probation with 14 days of intermittent incarceration (weekends for seven consecutive weeks), $500 in restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
