William Vogel
Pardoned January 6 defendant
William Vogel is a young man from Pawling, in Dutchess County, New York. Hudson Valley. Small town on the Metro-North line. His case is one of the smallest in the entire January 6 docket, and it is worth saying plainly. William Vogel was never accused of assaulting anyone. He filmed what he saw and posted it to Snapchat, and he was openly vocal about having been there. [FACT, Patch and News 12 reporting] He did not hide, did not scrub his accounts, and did not run. THE LEGAL FIGHT William Vogel was arrested January 26, 2021. An information was filed January 27, 2021. He was arraigned February 2, 2021 and pleaded not guilty to all counts. [FACT, DOJ] He later pleaded guilty on February 1, 2023 to petty offense counts including parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. [FACT, DOJ and Patch] He was sentenced to 30 days. [FACT, News 12 Westchester] No felony. No weapon. No assault allegation. THE CLEMENCY On January 20, 2025, a presidential proclamation granted full pardons for offenses related to events at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, covering this case. [FACT] The record is pardoned. William Vogel of Pawling, New York is clear. CASE RECORD Case number: 1:21-cr-56 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Arrested: January 26, 2021.
