Eric Gerwatowski
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageEric Gerwatowski is a young man from New Hyde Park on Long Island, New York — a hometown guy from Nassau County who traveled to Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021. Eric Gerwatowski of New Hyde Park, New York, was one of countless everyday people drawn to the Capitol that day. This archive states his record plainly. Gerwatowski was arrested on February 8, 2022, and later pleaded guilty to a felony civil-disorder count for his conduct at the Upper House Doors. On the strength of that plea, the court sentenced him to 24 months of probation, 30 days of home detention, 60 hours of community service, and $2,000 in restitution to the Architect of the Capitol — no prison time. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. Eric Gerwatowski, a Long Island, New York man, closes this chapter and moves on. Case record: United States v. Eric Gerwatowski, No. 1:22-xe-125 (originally 1:22-mj-21), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
