Zac Martin is a Missourian who never laid a hand on anyone. He is from the Springfield, Missouri area, and when the FBI came, he was taken into custody without incident — no struggle, no drama. (FACT — reported by KCUR.) His case sat at the misdemeanor end of the January 6 docket. That matters. The court record reflects a man who walked in, recorded himself, and walked back out. The court record, straight: Martin pleaded guilty on December 23, 2021 to a single count for his conduct at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. On March 17, 2022 he was sentenced to 36 months of probation, a fine, restitution, and 60 hours of community service — no incarceration. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence. His case was among those addressed by the January 20, 2025 clemency for January 6 defendants. (FACT.) Case record: No. 1:21-cr-201, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 28, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
