Troy Elbert Faulkner
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Troy Faulkner is a painter. He built a business with his own name on it — Faulkner Painting — in Whitehall, Ohio. (FACT) On January 6, he did something he cannot take back: he kicked in a Capitol window. He was even wearing his work coat, his name and number printed on the back. (FACT) But here is the part that usually gets left out: when the video surfaced, Troy called the FBI himself. (FACT) He did not run. About a week later he picked up the phone and turned himself in. He pleaded guilty to destruction of government property, served five months, and paid more than $10,000 in restitution. (FACT) On January 20, 2025, President Trump extended clemency to January 6 defendants. (FACT) A tradesman who owns a small business, who made a bad decision on one day and then walked straight toward the consequences instead of away from them. The court record: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case no. 1:21-cr-126. Arrested January 29, 2021; pleaded guilty August 5, 2022; sentenced November 3, 2022.
