Shawn Daniel Mahoney
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageShawn Daniel Mahoney is a 34-year-old man from Bristol, New Hampshire, a Newfound Lake town of about three thousand people in Grafton County, and he never spent a day in prison. Bristol is small enough that everybody knows everybody. When the FBI came looking, the person who identified him was a former co-worker shown a stack of photographs. That is how it went in a town that size. FACT. Shawn Daniel Mahoney was charged in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint was filed in early November 2023 and he was arrested November 9, 2023, nearly three years after January 6, 2021. He was the sixth person from New Hampshire charged out of that day. Sources: New Hampshire Public Radio, The Boston Globe. FACT. Mahoney pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. The felony-track counts were not part of his case. The remaining charges were dismissed. FACT. On October 23, 2024 he was sentenced to 24 months of probation, 45 days of home detention, 60 hours of community service, a $20 special assessment and $500 in restitution. No incarceration. Sixty hours back into a community. FACT. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. Shawn Daniel Mahoney received a full pardon. CHARGE ONLY. The government's identification rested on open-source video, online platforms and Capitol CCTV footage, and on a description of clothing and a camouflage backpack. That is the prosecution's identification method as stated in charging papers. This archive states it as the government's method, not as proof, and does not publish an arrest photo. IDENTITY GUARD, READ THIS. Bristol, New Hampshire had two residents charged out of January 6. A Bristol woman was arrested in June 2023 in a separate, unrelated case. This page is about Shawn Daniel Mahoney, the man arrested in November 2023, and nothing here may be read as being about the other Bristol defendant. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE. Court records list case 1:24-cr-00098, United States v. Mahoney, District of Columbia, filed February 23, 2024, and a preceding magistrate case 1:23-mj-00299 filed November 7, 2023. Those dates track this record's arrest timeline. No native judgment has been seen, so the numbers are labeled inference. What the record shows: a Grafton County man, two misdemeanors, probation and community service, and a full pardon. What the record does not show: his trade, his service, his family, his years on Newfound Lake. A former co-worker recognized his face. Nobody ever printed what he does for a living. THE CASE RECORD United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint November 2023. Arrested November 9, 2023, Bristol, New Hampshire. Pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts. Sentenced October 23, 2024 to 24 months probation, 45 days home detention, 60 hours community service, $500 restitution. Full pardon January 20, 2025. Case 1:24-cr-98, documented inference. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
