Andrew Craig Ericson was 23 years old — the first person from Oklahoma arrested in the January 6 cases — and he is from Muskogee. [FACT] A young man, a phone, and one bad day that got posted to Snapchat. That is most of the story here. [FACT: court record] He pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol — and prosecutors dropped three other charges. He was sentenced to two years of probation and 20 days of intermittent confinement served on weekends, plus $500 restitution. No allegation of assault. [FACT: court record] On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. Andrew was a very young man then and has his whole life in front of him now.
