## Bradley James Bokoski: sourced January 6 case record Bradley James Bokoski was prosecuted with his son, [Matthew R. Bokoski](/case/people/matthew-bokoski), in *United States v. Bokoski*, No. 1:22-cr-00207-CRC, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Christopher R. Cooper. This profile separates the charging allegations, the facts Bradley accepted in connection with his plea, the sentence imposed by the court, and the later presidential pardon. None of those legal events is presented as a complete judgment about his character. ## Procedural timeline - **May 16, 2022:** A federal complaint and supporting FBI Statement of Facts were filed in related magistrate matter No. 1:22-mj-00108. - **May 25, 2022:** Bradley and Matthew were arrested in their respective home states. - **June 6, 2022:** The government filed misdemeanor informations. - **October 13, 2022:** Each man pleaded guilty to one count under 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G). - **May 25, 2023:** Each received 36 months of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. No incarceration was imposed. - **January 20, 2025:** The covered conviction received a full presidential pardon. The Office of the Pardon Attorney later listed “BOKOSKI, BRADLEY” among certificate recipients. ## Charges and plea The complaint-stage record listed four misdemeanors: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building. Those were government allegations when filed. Bradley later admitted the factual basis for the single parading count through his plea. Contemporary plea reporting states that the government agreed to dismiss the other three counts. ## What the source record says The FBI filing and later reporting describe Bradley and Matthew entering the Capitol together and remaining inside for approximately four to five minutes. Those descriptions come from the government’s evidence and the plea record. Public reporting states that neither man was charged with violence or vandalism in this prosecution. The archive does not infer facts beyond the preserved sources. Native copies of the complaint, Statement of Facts, information, plea agreement, Statement of Offense, sentencing memoranda, and signed judgment remain priority captures. ## Sentence and clemency Contemporary reporting confirms 36 months’ probation and $500 restitution. A federal January 6 sentencing-comparison table lists 60 hours of community service. The signed judgment remains needed for a final page-level comparison and native-file hash. The January 20, 2025 proclamation granted a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to covered convicted January 6 defendants other than the fourteen specifically named for commutations. The Office of the Pardon Attorney’s FOIA release separately includes “BOKOSKI, BRADLEY.” A pardon is executive clemency; it is not described here as a judicial finding of innocence or proof of moral character. ## Frequently asked factual questions ### What did Bradley Bokoski plead guilty to? One misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building under 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G). ### Did he receive jail time? No. The reported sentence was probation, community service, and restitution. ### Was his son prosecuted in the same case? Yes. Matthew R. Bokoski entered the same type of plea and was sentenced on the same date. Their profiles remain separate so evidence and corrections can be attributed accurately. ### Was he pardoned? Yes. The proclamation covered his conviction, and the Office of the Pardon Attorney’s public recipient list includes his name. ## Source and editorial boundaries Charging papers state government allegations. Plea papers identify admitted facts. Sentencing filings contain party advocacy, while the judgment states the court’s disposition. Firsthand statements are labeled as such when authenticated. The site may discuss alleged or documented Biden-era DOJ weaponization in a separate editorial voice. That framing does not replace the underlying record or create missing evidence. ## Help complete the record The archive is seeking the signed judgment, sentencing transcript, sentencing memoranda, native plea papers, individual pardon certificate, and authenticated firsthand interviews.
