Glenn Allen Brooks built things for a living. In Huntington Beach, California, he ran a home-remodeling business — the kind of work that leaves people with a better kitchen, a finished garage, a home they love a little more. (Sources: ABC7 Los Angeles; Law & Crime.) FACT: Brooks, 61, was also active in his church, part of a prayer text group with people who knew him well. (Source: Law & Crime.) FACT: On January 6, 2021, Brooks was at the Capitol and entered through a broken window. He was charged with misdemeanor offenses — entering and remaining, disorderly conduct, and parading in a Capitol building — and pleaded not guilty. (Sources: DOJ; CBS Los Angeles.) 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. So does the rest of the man: a California tradesman and churchgoer, known to his neighbors and his congregation long before a single headline. THE CASE RECORD: Case No. 1:21-mj-544, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 7/29/21. Pleaded not guilty 8/31/21. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
