Public January 6 profile · ready to claim
Alexander Cain Poplin
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageAlexander Poplin was an active-duty United States Army soldier — still in uniform more than three years after January 6. FACT: Poplin, 31 at arrest, was serving on active duty at Schofield Barracks, the Army installation near Honolulu, Hawaii, when he was arrested in September 2024. That means he continued serving his country for over three and a half years after that day. (Military.com; Army Times; DOJ) FACT: He was charged with felony offenses of assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon and civil disorder, plus three misdemeanors. Those were allegations in a complaint — never proven, never tried. (DOJ) FACT: His case was pending when the January 20, 2025 presidential proclamation granting clemency for January 6 offenses directed dismissal of pending prosecutions. Poplin was never convicted of anything. (DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney; Wikipedia) THE CASE RECORD: Charged by criminal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, September 2024. Arrested at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Case pending at the time of the January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation directing dismissal of pending January 6 prosecutions. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
