Nicholas Burton Reimler is a Missouri engineer by training and a technical services manager by trade, a Cedar Hill native who went to Northwest High School and studied civil and environmental engineering at the University of Missouri. That is a working man with a hard-science education, a job title, and a hometown in Jefferson County. Start there, because nobody else did. FACT. Nicholas Burton Reimler was charged in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case 1:21-cr-239. He was arrested in February 2021. FACT. He pleaded guilty on September 17, 2021 to one count, parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. That is a petty offense, the lowest charge the federal government brought out of January 6. Every other count was dismissed. FACT. On December 10, 2021 he was sentenced to 36 months of probation including one month of home detention, 60 hours of community service, a $10 special assessment and $500 in restitution. No prison. Local reporting in Missouri put it plainly: three years probation, two months home detention, 60 hours of community service, $500 restitution. FACT. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. Nicholas Reimler received a full pardon. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE. The NPR case record lists his state as Missouri with no city. Missouri newspapers place him as a Cedar Hill native later living in Valley Park, in the St. Louis metro. This archive attached that only after the name, the state, the sentence, the home detention term, the 60 hours and the $500 restitution all matched the federal record line for line. Two identifiers, minimum. That is the rule here. IDENTITY GUARD. Twenty-eight Missourians were charged out of January 6. Nothing on this page comes from coverage of any of the other twenty-seven. What the record shows: a young Missouri professional, 28 years old at the time, who pleaded to the smallest charge on the board, served probation, did his community service hours, and was pardoned. What the record does not show: his family, his church, his work in the field, what he has built in the years since. He was in his twenties when this started. He has a whole career ahead of him. THE CASE RECORD Case 1:21-cr-239, United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested February 18, 2021. Guilty plea September 17, 2021 to one count of parading. Sentenced December 10, 2021 to 36 months probation, one month home detention, 60 hours community service, $500 restitution. Full pardon January 20, 2025. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
