David Antonio Ticas — Placentia, California. David was 40, a Southern California man who came to Washington on January 6, 2021. FACT (court record): David entered the Capitol and later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count. On July 15, 2022 he was sentenced to 14 days of incarceration, 24 months of probation, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. His was among the lower-level cases — no allegation of assault. Charges are charges; the plea is the plea. FACT: On October 12, 2023, Judge Bates granted David early release from probation — the court itself decided he had earned an early finish. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. David did his community service, met his obligations, and a federal judge cut his probation short. That is a record of a man doing what was asked of him.
