Patrick Montgomery makes his living in the backcountry. FACT: Montgomery is a big-game hunting guide from Littleton, Colorado, and owns the guide business Pmonte Outdoors (Colorado Sun). Originally from Albuquerque, he moved to Colorado in 2001. His January 6 case ran nearly four years. He was one of the earliest arrests, January 17, 2021, and he fought the charges. He was ultimately convicted of felonies including assaulting an officer, and on October 31, 2024, was sentenced to 37 months in prison (FACT: Colorado Sun). Then came January 20, 2025: presidential clemency covered January 6 cases, and Montgomery came home to Colorado. THEIR ACCOUNT: after the pardon, Montgomery sat down with FOX31 Denver and said it straight: "What happened that day was awful." He told his own story, on the record, under his own name. Watch it and judge for yourself. THE CASE RECORD Case 1:21-cr-46, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 17, 2021. Charged via criminal information January 2021; initial appearance February 5, released on personal recognizance. Superseding indictment April 16, 2021; pleaded not guilty to all counts April 21. Count 10 (obstruction of an official proceeding) dismissed July 14. Second superseding indictment December 1, 2021. Convicted; sentenced October 31, 2024, to 37 months.
