Phillip Andrew Bromley

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Phillip Andrew Bromley is an Alabama man — Shelby County, with roots back in Blount County, where the hometown paper still called him one of their own when it wrote about his case. He served his 90 days and he came home. He did his time. In full. Before any pardon was ever on the table. THE MAN Phillip Andrew Bromley is from Shelby County, Alabama, and was previously a resident of Blount County. (FACT — WSFA; The Blount Countian) He was among the earliest January 6 arrests anywhere in the country — the criminal complaint against him was filed and he was arrested in February 2021, inside of six weeks of the event. THE LEGAL FIGHT — WHAT HE ACTUALLY PLEADED TO Arrested February 17, 2021. Initial appearance February 25, 2021. Charged by criminal information March 25, 2021. He was arraigned April 8, 2021 and pleaded NOT GUILTY to all counts. He fought it for eight months. (FACT — DOJ docket) On December 1, 2021 a plea agreement was entered and Phillip Bromley pleaded guilty to Count 2 — a Class A misdemeanor, disorderly conduct in a restricted building under 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(2). As part of that plea he admitted aiding and abetting destruction of government property. (FACT — plea agreement; sentencing filings) One misdemeanor count. No felony conviction. No assault conviction. No weapons count. On June 28, 2022 he was sentenced to 90 days in jail, one year of supervised release, $2,000 in restitution and a $4,000 fine. (FACT — DOJ docket; The Blount Countian) He paid the fine. He paid the restitution. He did the 90 days. That was finished long before January 2025. On January 20, 2025, the presidential clemency action covering offenses relating to the events at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 issued full pardons across the January 6 docket. (FACT) For Phillip Bromley the clemency cleared a record he had already served out in full. Charges are charges and a plea is a plea. We do not soften the record. We also do not let a man be introduced by the worst paragraph a prosecutor ever wrote about him.
