Alan Byerly is a Pennsylvania man with roots in Berks County. He is from the Mertztown and Fleetwood area of eastern Pennsylvania — farm-and-small-town country between Reading and Allentown. That is home, and that is where his family and neighbors know him. (FACT — public records and local reporting place him in Berks County, PA.) He is one of the January 6 defendants whose case the American Gulag project has tracked, and supporters can follow it there. The court record, straight: Byerly entered the restricted Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021 and pleaded guilty on July 25, 2022 to charges arising from confrontations that day. On October 21, 2022 he was sentenced to 34 months, plus three years of supervised release and restitution. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence. Case record: No. 1:21-cr-527, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested July 7, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
