Jared Samuel Kastner is a Beavercreek, Ohio man who worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base - one of the largest and most important installations in the United States Air Force - in the Dayton community he calls home. Jared Kastner held a job supporting the mission at Wright-Patt. (FACT - Dayton Daily News, WHIO.) That is not a small thing. That is a security-cleared, show-up-every-day, serve-the-country-adjacent job in an Air Force town. Beavercreek is a Dayton suburb full of engineers, contractors, airmen and their families. Jared Kastner is one of them. THE LEGAL FIGHT. Jared Kastner was charged in December 2021 with entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was arrested December 8, 2021, and an information was filed the same day. His case dragged for years. He was convicted in 2024 and sentenced in October 2024 to five months. (FACT - DOJ defendant page; Dayton Daily News; Spectrum News 1; charging documents archived by GWU Program on Extremism.) Ahead of the change in administrations he said publicly that he was hoping he would not have to report to prison and that clemency would come. (THEIR ACCOUNT - Spectrum News 1, November 2024.) On January 20, 2025, the January 6 clemency proclamation issued full pardons for offenses connected to the events at or near the Capitol. (FACT - White House proclamation.) Almost four years from charge to pardon. Four years of a Beavercreek family waiting. CASE RECORD. Case number 1:21-cr-725 (RDM), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested December 8, 2021. Sentenced October 2024. Pardoned January 20, 2025. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you - or your family - claiming it is free, forever.
