Treniss Jewell Evans III is a January 6 political prisoner.
Treniss was arrested in March 2021. He was charged with “obstruction of an official proceeding” and disorderly conduct after he stood on the Capitol steps with a megaphone and said, “I don’t support looting, I don’t support the violence, I support a peaceful protest to put them on notice that we the people demand justice.”
When Treniss entered the building, he acted in accordance with these words. There is no evidence he engaged in violent activity.
