Patrick Bournes is an engineer from Santa Clara, California, the kind of guy neighbors described as quiet and technical before his name showed up in a federal indictment. He was arrested January 29, 2023 and indicted February 1, 2023 on a felony charge tied to his conduct at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He pleaded guilty and, in June 2024, was sentenced to four months in federal prison. On January 20, 2025, President Trump's proclamation granted him a full pardon covering the January 6 prosecutions. Case 1:23-cr-35, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
