Background

Shane Jason Woods pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement and a press photographer during the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach. He was pardoned by President Trump in January 2025. According to CREW and court reporting, after the pardon he was convicted in April 2025 of multiple counts including reckless homicide and driving under the influence in connection with a 2022 incident.

The Case

Woods assaulted police officers and a press photographer during the Capitol breach. The attack disrupted the certification of the presidential election, injured law enforcement and journalists, and damaged public trust in the peaceful transfer of power.

After receiving Trump's pardon, Woods was convicted in April 2025 for conduct in 2022 that included reckless homicide and driving under the influence. CREW and other analysts have cited his case as an example of pardoned insurrectionists who have been charged with or convicted of other serious crimes—including conduct that resulted in death—highlighting the absence of traditional parole or monitoring for pardoned individuals and the resulting risks to public safety.

The Pardon

On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted Woods a full pardon under a proclamation covering certain offenses relating to the events at or near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
