Jonathan Wayne Valentour, known as Duke, is a young Colorado man living in Boulder, raised in an Ohio family out of Centerville. He was arrested on January 6, 2025. Fourteen days later the case was over. He was never convicted of anything. [FACT] HIS STORY Jonathan Valentour was 26 when the FBI came for him in Colorado, four years to the day after January 6, 2021. [FACT, Colorado Sun, 9NEWS, CBS Colorado and Denver7.] His father, Joseph Charles Valentour of Centerville, Ohio, was arrested three days before him. A father and a son, an Ohio family and a Boulder address, pulled into a four-year-old investigation in the final weeks it existed. Jonathan Wayne Valentour never stood trial. He never entered a plea. The government filed charges and the calendar ran out on them. THE LEGAL FIGHT The record, plainly, and every item below is an allegation that was never tested by a jury. [FACT, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.] Arrested January 6, 2025 in Colorado. Charged with two felony counts, assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, plus five misdemeanor counts including entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct, physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds. No conviction. No sentence. Nothing proven. JANUARY 20, 2025 On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued clemency covering the January 6 cases, and the Justice Department moved to dismiss the prosecutions still pending. [FACT] Jonathan Valentour case was two weeks old. [DOCUMENTED INFERENCE from the arrest and clemency dates that his case ended without conviction.] CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Arrested: January 6, 2025 Disposition: charges resolved without conviction following the January 20, 2025 clemency Boulder, Colorado and Centerville, Ohio.
