Nathan Erik Breese

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Nathan Erik Breese is a Port Byron, New York man whose federal case never made it to a plea, a trial, or a sentence. It just ended. FACT: court records show Breese was arrested July 24, 2024, in Syracuse, more than three years after January 6, 2021, on charges of entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, and parading in the Capitol. FACT: he was never convicted of anything. On February 20, 2025, the court granted the government's own motion to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. Ever. There isn't a public statement of facts widely reported on Breese's specific conduct that day, and no news coverage has surfaced beyond the court docket itself. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the underlying allegations against him were never tested in court, and the case against him is closed for good. Nathan Breese was one of the later arrests in the whole Capitol investigation, three and a half years after the fact, and one of the defendants whose case simply ended when the government chose not to pursue it further. No guilty plea. No conviction. No sentence. Three and a half years is a long time to wait on a knock at the door. Nathan Breese waited that long, got arrested in Syracuse, and then watched the same government that charged him ask a judge to throw the case out. That's not a technicality lost in the fine print. That's the record closing the book on its own. For a man from a small town like Port Byron, New York, a federal case is a heavy thing to carry even before a single hearing happens. This one carried for seven months, arrest to dismissal, and then it was gone. What this doesn't prove: it doesn't establish his job, his family, or what happened on January 6 beyond the charging document, since the case was dismissed before any of it was tested in court. What it does prove: he was charged, and the government dropped the case with prejudice before it went anywhere. CASE RECORD U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested July 24, 2024, in Syracuse, NY. Case dismissed with prejudice February 20, 2025 on the government's own motion. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
