Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

**Nicholas Patrick Hendrix** is a U.S. Army veteran from Gorham, Maine, a mill-and-farm town of about 17,000 just west of Portland. He served. Then he became the first Mainer sentenced in a January 6 case. **His story.** Hendrix''s Army service is documented in the Maine press coverage of his case, not invented after the fact (FACT, WGME/FOX 23 Maine, Portland Press Herald, News Center Maine). Cumberland County people who know him described a man under group pressure that day, not a man with a plan. The federal record is unusually specific about how brief his conduct was: he was inside the Capitol for roughly 90 seconds before exiting (FACT, DOJ record and Maine press). Ninety seconds. No assault. No weapon. No destruction. He pleaded guilty in June 2022 to violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor. At sentencing he did not blame anyone else. "I regret it every day," he told the court (THEIR ACCOUNT, quoted in Maine coverage). Prosecutors themselves asked for only 14 days. The judge went to 30. An Army veteran from Gorham did a month in federal custody over a minute and a half. **Where the fight stands.** Nicholas Patrick Hendrix served his sentence and completed it. The presidential clemency proclamation of January 20, 2025 covered January 6 convictions, including misdemeanors like his, the J6 pardon closed the book on the federal case. What remains is a veteran from southern Maine who owned what he did in open court, in his own words, without excuses. **Case record.** United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 1:21-cr-426. Arrested May 27, 2021. Initial appearance June 3, 2021. Information filed June 23, 2021. Arraigned August 2, 2021 (not guilty, counts 1-4). Pleaded guilty June 27, 2022. Sentenced December 9, 2022 to 30 days incarceration, 36 months supervised release, $500 restitution. DOJ record: justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/hendrix-nicholas-patrick-0.
