Nicholas Patrick Hendrix

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

**Nicholas Patrick Hendrix** is a U.S. Army veteran from Gorham, Maine — a mill-and-farm town of about 17,000 just west of Portland. He served. Then he became the first Mainer sentenced in a January 6 case. **His story.** Hendrix''s Army service is documented in the Maine press coverage of his case, not invented after the fact (FACT — WGME/FOX 23 Maine, Portland Press Herald, News Center Maine). Cumberland County people who know him described a man under group pressure that day, not a man with a plan. The federal record is unusually specific about how brief his conduct was: he was inside the Capitol for roughly 90 seconds before exiting (FACT — DOJ record and Maine press). Ninety seconds. No assault. No weapon. No destruction. He pleaded guilty in June 2022 to violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building — a misdemeanor. At sentencing he did not blame anyone else. "I regret it every day," he told the court (THEIR ACCOUNT — quoted in Maine coverage). Prosecutors themselves asked for only 14 days. The judge went to 30. An Army veteran from Gorham did a month in federal custody over a minute and a half. **Where the fight stands.** Nicholas Patrick Hendrix served his sentence and completed it. The presidential clemency proclamation of January 20, 2025 covered January 6 convictions, including misdemeanors like his — the J6 pardon closed the book on the federal case. What remains is a veteran from southern Maine who owned what he did in open court, in his own words, without excuses. **Case record.** United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 1:21-cr-426. Arrested May 27, 2021. Initial appearance June 3, 2021. Information filed June 23, 2021. Arraigned August 2, 2021 (not guilty, counts 1-4). Pleaded guilty June 27, 2022. Sentenced December 9, 2022 to 30 days incarceration, 36 months supervised release, $500 restitution. DOJ record: justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/hendrix-nicholas-patrick-0.
