Thomas Joseph Kelly, Jr. is a Middletown, Maryland man from the Middletown Valley in Frederick County, and his case is still nothing but allegations. Read that line twice, because it is the whole point of this page. Thomas Kelly was charged. That is not the same as convicted, and this archive is not going to blur the two. FACT: Thomas Joseph Kelly, Jr., 36, of Middletown, Maryland, was arrested in May 2024 (U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia; The Hill; NBC News). FACT: He was charged with felony counts of civil disorder, assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, and assaulting officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon, plus five misdemeanor counts (U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia). CHARGE ONLY: Every one of those counts is an accusation in a charging document. No conviction appears in the public record we have located. Thomas Joseph Kelly, Jr. 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, roughly eight months after his arrest and before any trial. Middletown is a small town in the Frederick County valley, tucked between Catoctin and South Mountain. That is home for Thomas Kelly. CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Arrested: May 2024 Status: charged, no conviction in the public record This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
