President Donald Trump’s decision on day one to pardon or commute the prison sentences of more than 1,500 Jan. 6 participants, benefited 11 Michigan residents awaiting trial and another 34 convicted of crimes, according to the Tribune News Service.
The news service reports that those individuals include Anthony Puma of Brownstown Township, one of Michigan’s nonviolent offenders, who was sentenced to nine months in prison after a guilty plea to a felony obstruction charge for scaling a wall near the Capitol’s north side and entering the Capitol through a shattered window.
Nathan Thornsberry, 42, of Lapeer County also had his pending charges dismissed. A Marine Corps vet, he wrote a book under a pen name talking about his experience. He was accused of joining a group that was fighting police that day.
