Dale Jeremiah Shalvey
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageDale 'DJ' Shalvey and his wife, Tara, built a life together — first around Wheeling and western Pennsylvania, and later in Conover, North Carolina. FACT: DJ and Tara went to Washington on January 6, 2021, together, as a married couple. They faced the aftermath together too, both charged in connection with that day. (Sources: The Intelligencer; Hickory Daily Record.) FACT: Shalvey pleaded guilty in October 2022 to assaulting law enforcement and obstruction of an official proceeding, tied to throwing an object toward the police line and to conduct inside the building. In 2023, Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced him to 41 months; Tara received eight months. (Sources: The Intelligencer; DOJ.) FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. (Source: PBS NewsHour.) The court record is below and it stays there. Alongside it is the human part these headlines skip: a husband and wife who walked into that day side by side and have carried the consequences the same way. THE CASE RECORD: Case No. 1:21-cr-334, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 3/9/21. Indicted 4/30/21. Pleaded guilty 10/3/22. Sentenced 2023 to 41 months. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
