Curtis Pulaski went to Washington to film it. He said he was appalled by what he saw. FACT: Pulaski, 29, of Wyoming, Michigan, turned himself in to the FBI. He was not hunted down. He walked in. (WOOD TV 8) FACT: He told the FBI in a January 12, 2021 interview — six days after — that he attended to livestream the event and get video of the rally for his YouTube channel. He was there with a camera. (WOOD TV 8) FACT: West Michigan reporting is headlined on his own words: he was "appalled" by what he saw that day. (WOOD TV 8) FACT: He was charged with four counts, all misdemeanors: entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. No assault charge. No weapon charge. No property damage charge. FACT: The tip that led the FBI to him came from a hospital visit — he was treated on January 7, 2021 for a spinal injury sustained that day. He told medical staff plainly where he had been. (WOOD TV 8) He was hurt, he told the truth about how, and that truth is what brought the FBI to his door. He still walked in on his own. FACT: On January 20, 2025, the presidential proclamation granting pardons for offenses relating to January 6, 2021 applies to January 6 defendants, including those with pending or resolved misdemeanor charges. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: We have not confirmed the final disposition of his case from a court docket. If you have it, send it and we will publish it. THE CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Docket: Charged with four misdemeanor counts. Surrendered to the FBI. Final disposition pending verification.
