Kenneth Grayson is a Pittsburgh-area man who did not hide what he did. He is from Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, just southwest of the city. On January 6 he live-streamed himself on his own Facebook account — a man who believed he was doing something out in the open, not in the shadows. (FACT — reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and WPXI.) The court record, straight: Grayson entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and later pleaded guilty to interfering with a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder. On December 20, 2022 he was sentenced to 2 months, plus supervised release and restitution. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence. His case was among those addressed by the January 20, 2025 clemency for January 6 defendants. (FACT.) Case record: No. 1:21-cr-224, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested January 26, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
