Aaron Spanier is from North Carolina. He was arrested there in late October 2024 in connection with Jan. 6, 2021 (FACT, per NBC News reporting on the FBI's case). The FBI said he was dressed in a Colonial-era outfit that day and entered the Capitol through a damaged Senate Wing Door. He was charged with misdemeanors and was assigned a federal public defender. This archive attributes only what is sourced. Other people share the name "Aaron Spanier," so nothing from social media or job listings is claimed here without confirmation — only the North Carolina Jan. 6 case reported by NBC News. Plain English: these were misdemeanor charges, and the case was still pending when it was overtaken by events. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to Jan. 6 defendants and directed the dismissal of pending cases like this one, ending it before trial. Case record: Court — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested — late October 2024, in North Carolina. Charges — misdemeanors. Status — pending case resolved by the Jan. 20, 2025 clemency. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
