Peter Michael Krill Jr.

January 6 case-file subject

Documented editorial-use image

Peter Michael Krill Jr. is the subject of *United States v. Krill*, No. `1:23-cr-00342-JEB`, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The archive record now covers his December 2022 arrest, the government’s original complaint allegations, his October 2023 guilty plea to felony civil disorder, the February 2024 sentence imposed by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, and the January 2025 full pardon. ## What the complaint record alleged DOJ announced that the FBI arrested Krill on December 15, 2022, in Sewell, New Jersey. The criminal complaint initially alleged two felonies—assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and civil disorder—and four misdemeanor access-and-conduct offenses. The arrest announcement attributed its conduct narrative to court documents. It stated that body-worn-camera footage appeared to show Krill pulling a bike-rack barricade away from officers at approximately 1:35 p.m. and that Capitol surveillance showed him entering through the Upper West Terrace door at approximately 2:36 p.m. and leaving from the east side at approximately 3:23 p.m. Those descriptions remain **government probable-cause allegations**, not independent archive findings. DOJ’s release expressly stated that a complaint is merely an allegation and that every defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. ## Guilty plea and admitted offense On October 10, 2023, Krill pleaded guilty before Chief Judge James E. Boasberg to one felony count of civil disorder under 18 U.S.C. § 231(a)(3). DOJ’s plea announcement described the barrier-removal conduct and Capitol entry as facts reflected in court documents. The archive distinguishes that admitted offense from the broader complaint-stage charge list. A guilty plea to one count does not establish every original allegation, and the profile does not treat the plea as a judgment about Krill’s moral character. Native plea papers, including the plea agreement and statement of offense, remain pending capture. ## Sentence imposed On February 9, 2024, Chief Judge Boasberg sentenced Krill to: - Nine months’ imprisonment - Twelve months of supervised release - $2,000 restitution The sentence is supported by DOJ’s official sentencing announcement. No additional fine, special assessment, community-service term, or other condition is added without the signed judgment. The complete sentencing memoranda, transcript, and judgment remain research gaps. ## January 2025 full pardon Proclamation 10887 granted a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to individuals convicted of covered January 6 offenses who were not among the fourteen people whose sentences were separately commuted. Krill falls within the proclamation’s full-pardon category based on his covered conviction. The Office of the Pardon Attorney’s public certificate-recipient page separately lists the exact name `KRILL, PETER MICHAEL`. That official listing verifies that a certificate was requested and issued. The archive has not captured Krill’s individual certificate and therefore does not infer its person-specific offense wording, signature date, or file metadata. A pardon is recorded as an executive clemency action. It is not described as a trial acquittal, an appellate reversal, or proof of any person’s moral character. ## Current archive record - Federal case: `1:23-cr-00342-JEB` - Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia - Judge: Chief Judge James E.

He pleaded guilty to felony civil disorder under 18 U.S.C. § 231(a)(3). The broader charges described at the complaint stage are preserved separately and are not treated as additional convictions. ### What sentence did the court impose? DOJ reported nine months in prison, twelve months of supervised release, and $2,000 restitution. The signed judgment and sentencing transcript are still needed for a complete condition-by-condition record. ### Does the archive independently verify every conduct description in DOJ’s releases? No. The archive records DOJ’s descriptions with attribution. The arrest narrative is identified as complaint-stage government allegations; the plea and sentencing records are identified as later procedural outcomes. ### Was Peter Krill pardoned? Yes. Proclamation 10887 covered his January 6 conviction with a full pardon, and the Office of the Pardon Attorney lists `KRILL, PETER MICHAEL` among people who requested and were issued certificates. His individual certificate file remains pending. ### Does the pardon erase the historical court record? The archive preserves the complaint, plea, sentence, and pardon as separate historical events. It does not characterize the pardon as an acquittal or use any of those events as proof of character. ## Source and editorial boundaries This profile separates government allegations, admitted plea facts, judicial sentencing, executive clemency, and editorial analysis. The site may discuss J6ers as victims of alleged or documented Biden-era DOJ weaponization, but that editorial position does not replace the underlying record or convert disputed claims into established facts. ## Explore and contribute Review the connected [source documents](/case?view=documents), follow the [case timeline](/case?view=timeline), explore relationships in [Case Nexus](/case/nexus), or [submit evidence or a correction](/submit).
