Kash Lee Kelly is from Hammond, Indiana. He grew up inside the Latin Kings. He got out — and spent his adult years trying to pull kids off the same streets that nearly took him. Local coverage backs that up: anti-violence work, mentoring, speaking in his Northwest Indiana community (FACT — NWI Times; Hoodline). His January 6 case ended smaller than the headlines. He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count — parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. Sixty days. $500 restitution. That was the case (FACT — court record). He has said publicly that the judge in his separate, pre-existing drug case sentenced him harder because of January 6 (THEIR ACCOUNT — The Epoch Times). On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation covered January 6 offenses, including Kelly's. Since then he's been back home in Northwest Indiana speaking publicly — including at a Lake Station church (FACT — NWI Times). Supporters ran a petition during his case: "Kash Lee Kelly Deserves Freedom" (Change.org). THE CASE RECORD Case No. 1:22-cr-208, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (initially filed as 1:21-mj-67). Arrested 1/21/21. Initial appearance 3/10/21. Information filed 6/7/22. Pleaded guilty 11/10/22. Sentenced 11/10/22 to 60 days of incarceration and $500 in restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
