Brian Preller is a Florida man — 32 years old at the time of his arrest. FACT: Federal agents arrested him on August 24, 2022, in Hardwick, Vermont, months after January 6. He was charged with a felony count of civil disorder and misdemeanor trespass counts. Charges are charges — the complaint is an allegation, not a verdict. FACT: The presidential clemency of January 20, 2025 swept in the January 6 cases. There is not much public coverage of Brian beyond the arrest. If you know his story — his work, his family, his service — this page is here to carry it, truthfully. Case record: No. 1:22-mj-184, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed Aug. 16, 2022; arrested Aug. 24, 2022. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
