Zachary Pearlman is a young man from Naples, Florida. He was 26 years old when the FBI arrested him in Tampa in October 2024, almost four years after January 6, 2021. Read that again. Four years later. Zachary Pearlman was charged by criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with felony counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers and obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, plus four misdemeanor counts tied to entering restricted Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct. He made his initial appearance in the Middle District of Florida. [CHARGE ONLY: DOJ press release, October 2024] Every one of those is an allegation. Not one of them is a finding by a judge or a jury. A complaint is a prosecutor's accusation, nothing more. There is no conviction for Zachary Pearlman in the public record this archive has found. No guilty plea. No verdict. No sentence. [DOCUMENTED INFERENCE] Zachary Pearlman is presumed innocent. He was presumed innocent the whole time. Fewer than three months after that arrest, on January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions, including the dismissal of pending cases. Whether that clemency closed the case against Zachary Pearlman of Naples, Florida specifically is NEEDS AUTHENTICATION until the docket is pulled. THE RECORD Criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested in Tampa, Florida, October 2024. Initial appearance in the Middle District of Florida. No case number recorded in this archive yet. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
