Jason Lee Hyland
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJason Lee Hyland is a business owner from Frisco, Texas — a North Texas entrepreneur who built his own livelihood before his name ever appeared in a court docket. Here are the receipts, straight: Jason Hyland traveled to Washington for the January 6, 2021 rally and entered the U.S. Capitol. He pleaded guilty in March 2022 to a single misdemeanor — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building — and in exchange the more serious counts against him were dropped. In August 2022 a federal judge sentenced Jason Lee Hyland to seven days in jail plus a $4,000 fine and $500 restitution — one of the lighter, non-violent misdemeanor resolutions among the Capitol cases. His January 6 conviction falls within the scope of President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency for J6 defendants. A Frisco business owner who faced a misdemeanor, served a week, paid his fine, and got back to his life and his work in Texas. Case record: United States v. Hyland, Case No. 1:21-cr-50, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested Feb. 2, 2021; guilty plea Mar. 28, 2022; sentenced Aug. 9, 2022 to seven days' jail, $4,000 fine, $500 restitution.
