Todd Michael Bills is a 59 year old man from Coldwater, Ohio, a farm town of about a thousand people in Mercer County, and he was never convicted of anything. No plea. No trial. No verdict. Dismissed with prejudice. WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS FACT: Todd Bills was arrested on September 16, 2024 in Toledo, Ohio. Three years and eight months after January 6, 2021. He was in his late fifties when federal agents came for him. CHARGE ONLY: The government accused him of Entering or Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds, Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds, Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building, and Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. Four misdemeanors. Every one of them an allegation, not a finding. FACT: No felony was ever charged. No assault count. No weapon count. No property damage count. FACT: On January 23, 2025, the court granted the government motion to dismiss the case with prejudice. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE Todd Michael Bills of Coldwater, Ohio never entered a plea and never stood trial. He is presumed innocent of all four counts and the dismissal with prejudice means the government cannot come back for another run at him. If you ever see him called a convicted January 6 rioter, that is false. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION We do not have his trade, his service record if he has one, his family, his church, or anything in his own words. Mercer County is farm country and hard work country. If you know Todd Bills of Coldwater, send it. The photograph attached to this profile came in from a public archive and has not been authenticated as a dignified image he would choose. If it is not right, we will pull it the day he asks. CASE RECORD Jurisdiction: Federal, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested September 16, 2024 in Toledo, Ohio. No conviction entered. Dismissed with prejudice January 23, 2025. Charging document mirrored at CourtListener, linked on this page. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
