Jan. 6 rioters with Snohomish County ties included in Trump pardons

EVERETT — At least five people with Snohomish County ties were included in President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardons of Jan. 6 rioters Monday.

Trump granted pardons to about 1,500 defendants and reduced sentences for 14 others on the first day of his second term.

“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation,” the proclamation read.

The five people included in Trump’s pardons are:

Daniel Lyons “Milkshake” Scott was sentenced to five years in prison in 2023. He was accused of nine crimes and pleaded guilty to two: obstruction of official proceeding and assaulting a federal officer. Federal agents named Scott a prominent member of The Proud Boys and was one of the first people to enter the Capitol. Scott used to live in Arlington and work at Boeing but moved to Florida shortly before the insurrection.
