Tim Levon Boughner is a Romeo, Michigan man whose mother asked a federal court to let him come home, and whose January 6 case closed without a trial. The court said no. He stayed in custody. That is the part of the Tim Boughner story nobody wrote a headline about. FACT: At his January 12, 2022 detention hearing, his mother offered to serve as his third party custodian so he could be released to her. The court declined and he was returned to custody. His federal public defender was James McHugh, as reported by Law&Crime. THEIR ACCOUNT: He told the court the statements prosecutors attributed to him were not his: "I did not say these things." This archive does not republish the social media quotes the government attributed to him. He disputed them in open court, and they were never tested at trial. CHARGE ONLY: A federal grand jury indicted him on nine counts, case 1:22-cr-00020-TSC, including civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, and assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon. The indictment alleges a metal crowd control barrier and a chemical spray and names three officers. An indictment is an accusation. It is not a verdict. FACT: He pleaded not guilty to every count on February 9, 2022. WHERE THINGS STAND: FACT: Arrested December 7, 2021, at 41, and held without bond. FACT: No trial. No verdict. No sentence. On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation covered the January 6 prosecutions and closed his case before trial, more than three years after his arrest. Tim Levon Boughner is presumed innocent of every count. If you know him and there is more to him than a docket line, this archive wants it. Send receipts, evidence, witnesses. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-cr-00020-TSC (originally magistrate case 21-mj-649). U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested: December 7, 2021. Pleaded not guilty: February 9, 2022, all counts. Status: closed under the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation, before trial.
