Jonas Buxton is a young man from St. Charles, Missouri. FACT: He was 25 at the time of his case. He traveled to Washington in January 2021 to protest the certification of the election — the kind of thing plenty of Americans went to do that week. The court record: the government dropped the other counts and he pleaded guilty to a single count — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. He was sentenced to 18 months of probation, 40 hours of community service, a $500 fine and $500 restitution. No jail time. That matters. One misdemeanor, no prison, and a whole life still in front of him. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 defendants; individual application should be confirmed against the docket. FACT — case record: Case No. 1:21-cr-739, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint and arrest 12/8/21. Pleaded guilty 8/10/22. Sentenced 12/2/22.
