Mother Cries for Help: Young Son Charles Smith Has Been Sentenced to 41 Months for Touching a Huge Sign that Ray Epps Hurled at Capitol Police

Laurie Smith and J6 political prisoner Charles Bradford Smith.

Charles Bradford (Brad) Smith was a 24-year-old young patriotic American when the FBI raided his family’s home in September 2021. Brad has been held in the FCI Elkton Federal Correctional Institution in Lisbon, Ohio. He was sentenced to 41 months in prison for touching a sign and for several made-up charges by the DOJ-FBI

On January 6, 2021, Brad Smith stood outside the US Capitol. At one point a giant Trump sign passed over him and he touched it for a couple of seconds.

Brad was one of dozens of individuals who touched the giant Trump MAGA sign that was hurled at police.

But Brad did not act alone. Ray Epps also hurled this sign at police and it was all caught on video.

Ray Epps was never arrested or locked up for this “crime” or any crime on January 6th.

Being a fed operative has its perks.

Several Trump supporters sit in jail today for touching this sign as it passed over their heads.



Brad Smith’s mother Laurie wrote an open leter to Rep. Jim Jordan asking for help in rescuing her son from his political persecution.

Dear Mr. Jordan,

Please I beg of you to help the Jan 6 prisoners. My son Charles Bradford Smith is in prison (Ohio prison actually) for 41 months. He never entered capital, did not hurt anyone or anything. Got conspiracy for text to friends about saving DC and later on an assault charge for touching a sign for seconds that passed over hundreds and didn’t injure anyone.

Please help me. I’m devastated.

Laurie Smith
