Clayton Mullins
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageClayton Ray Mullins had never been in trouble a day in his life. Kentucky. Fifty-four years old. A man who wrote the judge that his life is centered on the Lord, and that he had never broken the law or been abusive to anyone. [THEIR ACCOUNT - court filing] When sentencing came, the community showed up on paper. Nineteen letters of support went to the judge - from a former county judge-executive, a retired sheriff's deputy, a retired police officer, his nieces, his in-laws, family and friends. His wife Nancy wrote one too. That is what the people who actually know him had to say. [FACT - court filings; WPSD Local 6] The court record is the court record. Mullins pleaded guilty to a felony count of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers for his conduct at the Lower West Terrace tunnel, and was sentenced to 30 months plus restitution. He has said he traveled to Washington with no intent to cause harm and never imagined a riot would happen. [FACT / THEIR ACCOUNT - DOJ; court filing] On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. [FACT] Strip away the headlines and you find a churchgoing Kentucky man with a wife, a big family, and a whole town willing to put their names on a letter for him. The record: Case No. 1:21-cr-35, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 2/23/21. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you - or your family - claiming it is free, forever.
