Four men with Northwest Indiana ties were among the more than 1,500 people pardoned by President Donald Trump Monday for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Dale Huttle, 73, of Crown Point, has served about six months of a 2 ½ year sentence at FCI Thomson, a federal prison near the Illinois-Iowa border. His original release date was in December 2026.

Michelle Peterson, his federal public defender, confirmed Tuesday he is set to be released, but declined further comment.

Court filings state Huttle had two “violent confrontations” with law enforcement officers on the building’s Lower West Terrace. That afternoon, as the crowd was pulling bike racks used as a barrier, Dale Huttle went to the front of the crowd and hit at least two officers with a long flagpole, according to a release.

A half-hour later, he allegedly grabbed another officer’s baton, yelling: “Surrender!”

Before his sentencing, U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves in court filings said Huttle was not remorseful for what he did, citing a Chicago TV news interview where he said he acted as a patriot.

His nephew, Matthew Huttle, 42, of Hebron, was also there and served six months in prison — essentially for trespassing.

Graves, the now-former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said in an interview with the New York Times, that it would stop most Jan. 6 cases, but some had already done their time.

“(There) is no undoing these prosecutions, and hundreds have already completed their sentences or completed all or most of their periods of probation,” he told the outlet.

Democratic lawmakers condemned the pardons, saying it threw out one of the most complex and biggest criminal cases in U.S. history.

“Donald Trump is ushering in a Golden Age for people that break the law and attempt to overthrow the government,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement to Associated Press.

In January 2021, a third man, Kash Lee Kelly, of Hammond, was charged in the District of Columbia with two misdemeanor counts, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful entry, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to the charging documents.

Authorities proved many were there from cell phone location data or social media posts.

During the investigation, law enforcement, who knew Kelly for several years, were tipped off that he posted pictures on Facebook “scaling the walls” and “posing with a monument inside” the Capitol, documents state.

“The day we let the Traitors who constantly push the divide in OUR country know that we are done playing their games,” Kelly wrote. “All ppl of all colors came together today and I couldn’t be more proud to be an AMERICAN.”

His attorney Carmen Hernandez could not be immediately reached Tuesday.

Kelly was sentenced to 60 days in prison and ordered to pay $500 in restitution. He was released in January 2024.

Another Crown Point man — Gregory Mijares — was set to go to trial in March on a felony civil disorder charge and misdemeanor offenses of assaulting officers, entering a restricted building, and violent entry. On Jan. 6, Mijares made his way to the Lower West Terrace pursuing law enforcement officers, court records said, standing in their path, raising a flag over his head, and fighting with them as they tried to remove him. Video footage shows Mijares and other rioters smashed one of the glass panes of a door, and Mijares flipped off the officers before pulling open the door for the other rioters, records said.

Mijares was able to grab a baton with which an officer hit him. Mijares remained at the front and pushed against police in a couple “heave ho” efforts, passing out riot shields taken from officers to rioters, according to the statement of facts. After one last “heave ho” against police, he left the tunnel about 3:19 p.m. EST, records said.

Fourteen defendants, including several convicted of seditious conspiracy, had their sentences commuted, while the rest of those found guilty of Jan. 6 crimes were granted “full, complete and unconditional” pardons.

More than 1,500 people were charged in nearly every state in connection with the Jan. 6 breach, according to a release. More than 500 were charged for impeding or assaulting police.

Aside from trying to overturn the 2020 Presidential election, the insurrection injured more than 100 cops and caused nearly $3 million in damages, court filings show.
