Johnny Leroy Harris
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageJohnny Harris is a North Carolina man, from Shelby. FACT: He admitted to walking into the Capitol on January 6 with a megaphone and a flag. He was identified after posting photos of himself inside on Facebook — hardly the act of a man who thought he was doing something secret. (AOL/Charlotte Observer; American Gulag) FACT: He pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor — disorderly and disruptive conduct — and no charge of assault or property destruction was proven against him. FACT: The January 20, 2025 clemency proclamation covered January 6 defendants. That is the record. The man behind it — his work, his family, his life in Shelby — is his to tell. Case record: United States v. Harris, No. 1:21-cr-274, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested March 18, 2021. Pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor; sentenced to 7 months and 12 months probation. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
