William Todd Wilson
Pardoned January 6 defendant
William Todd Wilson is a military and law enforcement veteran from Newton Grove, North Carolina, a Sampson County man who spent his working life wearing a uniform. He served. Then he led a local chapter of a veterans group. Then he sat down with the federal government and told them everything. FACT: William Todd Wilson is from Newton Grove, North Carolina, and was 44 years old at the time of his plea (WLOS, May 2022). FACT: Wilson is described in reporting as a military and law enforcement veteran (WLOS, May 2022). FACT: He was the Sampson County leader of the North Carolina chapter of the Oath Keepers, which he joined in 2016 (WLOS; DOJ).

FACT: His plea agreement required full cooperation with federal investigators (Law and Crime; NBC News, May 2022). THE LEGAL FIGHT William Todd Wilson did not go to trial.

Seditious conspiracy carries a maximum of 20 years. FACT: On January 20, 2025 the President issued a proclamation granting pardons and commutation of sentences for offenses relating to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Pull the docket before anyone states it as settled. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE: Wilson was not charged with assaulting anyone. Reporting states he left weapons at a Virginia hotel and carried a pocketknife. Charges are charges. Read the record, not the headline. THE CASE RECORD Case number 22-cr-152.
