Thomas Riddle is a South Carolina man from Travelers Rest whose entire federal case comes down to a single misdemeanor. FACT: According to court records, Thomas Riddle, also referred to in some filings as Corey Riddle, was allegedly inside the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021 alongside another man, Kevin Clardy. FACT: He pleaded guilty to Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced. That is the entirety of the federal charge against him. No assault. No weapon. No felony obstruction count. THEIR ACCOUNT: Court documents note a Facebook post attributed to Riddle after January 6 describing the day as chaotic. This archive states plainly what the record shows and no more: one misdemeanor, one guilty plea, one sentence. Thomas Riddle is from Travelers Rest, a small community outside Greenville, South Carolina, and this is a man who answered a single low-level federal charge and put it behind him. There is no violence in his charged conduct, no destruction of property, no assault on an officer. That distinction matters, and this record states it plainly rather than lumping every January 6 defendant into one bucket. January 20, 2025: President Trump issued a sweeping clemency proclamation covering January 6 defendants nationwide. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: whether Thomas Riddle's case was directly resolved by that proclamation is not confirmed in the sources reviewed for this profile, and this page will be updated once that status is verified. Case record: Case No. 23-mj-00131, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested June 21, 2023. Charge: Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds. Disposition: guilty plea, misdemeanor, sentenced. A Travelers Rest man, one misdemeanor, a sentence already served. That is the record. Not every January 6 case looks the same, and this one is as low-level as they come. Read it for yourself. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
