Derek Jaccob Dodder is a former U.S. Marine — a veteran whose January 6 case ended without a conviction. FACT: The Hill and Law & Crime reported that prosecutors identified Derek Dodder and his co-defendant as former Marines. He was arrested October 4, 2023, nearly three years after January 6, on four misdemeanor counts — unlawful-entry and disorderly-conduct type charges. No assault was charged. Charges are charges, not convictions. Derek Jaccob Dodder was never convicted of anything. FACT: His case was still pending when President Trump signed the January 20, 2025 proclamation granting clemency to January 6 defendants and directing the dismissal of pending January 6 prosecutions. The case against Derek Dodder was closed without a conviction. A Marine Corps veteran, a misdemeanor case, and a clean ending — that is the record. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:23-mj-00265 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Complaint filed October 2, 2023. Arrested October 4, 2023. Four misdemeanor charges. Case resolved without conviction following the January 20, 2025 proclamation. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
