Christopher Roe

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Christopher Roe is a Raytown, Missouri man from the Kansas City suburbs — 29 years old when the government came for him, two and a half years after January 6. Christopher Brian Roe was living in Raytown, in Jackson County, Missouri, when he was arrested on July 18, 2023. He was 29. (FACT — DOJ; KCTV5.) Two things about this case deserve to be said plainly. First: Roe stayed put. He was not arrested until July 2023 — two and a half years after January 6, 2021. He lived in the Kansas City area under his own name for all of it. (FACT — DOJ.) Second: he did not drag it out. Christopher Roe pleaded guilty on November 2, 2023, roughly three months after his arrest. He took the counts and closed the case rather than making the government try it. (FACT — DOJ.) WHAT WE STILL NEED The archive does not yet have Christopher Roe's trade, his employer, his military or first-responder history, his family's own words, or a support page. Missouri coverage of this case never told any of it. If it exists, we want it — sourced, in his words or his family's. THE LEGAL FIGHT A criminal complaint was filed July 12, 2023, and Roe was arrested July 18, 2023 on five felony offenses, including assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and civil disorder. He pleaded guilty November 2, 2023 to three felony counts under 18 U.S.C. § 111. Public reporting indicates he was sentenced in March 2024 to 70 months of imprisonment, 24 months of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. (FACT — DOJ releases. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE on the sentencing figures, which the archive has not yet confirmed against the signed judgment.) Charges are charges. A plea is a plea. The archive goes no further than the record. The January 20, 2025 presidential clemency proclamation granted pardons and commutations for offenses relating to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: Christopher Roe's individual clemency status has not yet been verified by the archive against the Office of the Pardon Attorney certificate-recipient list, and the district-court case number for the indicted case has not yet been captured. CASE RECORD Case No. 23-mj-161, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint filed July 12, 2023. Arrested July 18, 2023.
