Pardoned January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Zach Rash is a contractor from Payson, Utah. He was 24 years old when a federal judge sent him to prison, which means he was 20 on January 6, 2021. Twenty years old. A kid with a trade, from a town of 20,000 in Utah County. ## Who he is Local Utah reporting identified Zach Rash as a Payson contractor. Construction work. Bids, crews, early mornings, and a truck. That is what he did before the federal government spent three years looking for him and that is the skill he still has. ## The legal fight The FBI filed its statement of facts on March 26, 2024. Agents arrested Zach Rash on April 2, 2024, in Payson, Utah, more than three years after January 6, 2021. On July 15, 2024, he pleaded guilty to ONE felony count: assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers under 18 U.S.C. 111(a)(1). The complaint had listed more. He was convicted of one. On November 20, 2024, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss sentenced him to 27 months in federal prison, 36 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution. ## Clemency On January 20, 2025, Zach Rash received a full pardon under the presidential proclamation covering January 6 convictions. He was not among the fourteen people whose sentences were commuted. He falls under the full and unconditional pardon provision. ## What the record shows and what it does not FACT: Zach Rash was convicted of ONE count. Every other charge in the complaint was resolved without a conviction. CHARGE ONLY: the detailed narrative about the Lower West Terrace tunnel comes from a probable cause affidavit. An affidavit is the government's version. It is not a jury finding. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the archive has not captured the plea agreement, the statement of offense, the sentencing transcript, the native judgment, or an individual pardon certificate in his name. ## What this does not prove It does not prove who Zach Rash is. He was a 20 year old tradesman when this started and he was 24 when it ended. He served time and he was pardoned. A sentence is a legal event. It is not a verdict on a man's whole life, his work, his family, or the next fifty years he has in front of him. ## Case record - Complaint docket: 1:24-mj-00113-MAU, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Sentencing judge: Randolph D.
