Ronald John Cloutier

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Ronald John Cloutier is a north Idaho man from Rathdrum, in Kootenai County, up in the pine country outside Coeur d'Alene. Small town, big country, and a case that never made a single national headline. That matters, because the charges against Ronald Cloutier were the low level ones, and the coverage should say so. FACT: A federal arrest warrant for Cloutier was signed May 31, 2024, and he made his initial appearance in federal court in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on June 3, 2024 (Coeur d'Alene Press, June 8, 2024). FACT: He is a resident of Rathdrum, Idaho (Coeur d'Alene Press; KHQ, Spokane). CHARGE ONLY: The offenses charged carry a maximum of one year, which makes them misdemeanors (Coeur d'Alene Press). A charge is not a conviction. Ronald John Cloutier is presumed innocent of anything a court has not found. FACT: On January 20, 2025, a presidential proclamation granted clemency in the January 6 cases. Rathdrum sits in Kootenai County, Idaho, a place where people know each other by name. Ronald Cloutier is from there. CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Initial appearance: June 3, 2024, District of Idaho Charge level: misdemeanor, one year maximum This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
