Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and former Republican candidate for Congress in Florida’s 14th Congressional District. Brown served in the United States Army from 1992 to 2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces Master Sergeant.
The Gateway Pundit spoke with Jeremy’s girlfriend this morning. She told us Jeremy would appear in Pinellas County Court this afternoon. Jeremy is charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor.
Jeremy Brown NEVER entered the US Capitol on January 6. His crime was refusing to be an FBI informant as we describe below.
The FBI sent 20 vehicles for his arrest. DHS and Pinellas County law enforcement were also present. The FBI was in Jeremy’s home for 5-and-a-half hours looking for evidence. We were told this morning that the FBI did not read Jeremy his rights.
As we reported months ago, Jeremy Brown refused to be an informant for the dirty FBI — They wanted him to be one of their plants at the Jan. 6 Trump rallies. So they stormed his home at 3:45 PM on Thursday and arrested him on bogus misdemeanor charges.
This afternoon Jeremy’s girlfriend contacted The Gateway Pundit following his hearing. Jeremy Brown was denied bail. He will sit in jail until his court hearing on Tuesday.
It should be noted that Jeremy Brown told The Gateway Pundit back in June that “scores of guys” had written him saying they were also approached by the FBI to spy on the patriot groups.

Jeremy attended the Stop the Steal protests in Washington DC on January 6. Jeremy joined the Oath Keepers in November and went to Washington DC to provide security at the many protests and rallies that week.
Last March, Jeremy Brown started speaking out about how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) contacted him and attempted to recruit him to spy on patriots and everyday Americans.
In December FBI agents contacted Jeremy Brown at his home for “posting some things online.”
Jeremy released video surveillance of the FBI contacting him at his home. And Jeremy released an audio recording of his actual meetup with the FBI. Jeremy struggled for months about whether or not to go public with this information. But according to his Facebook page — “After listening to politicians and the FBI Director, Chris Wray, tell lie after bald-faced lie to the American People, he could not stay silent any longer.”
Jeremy decided his desire to protect and defend the American people and the TRUTH are more important than privacy or personal safety.
Earlier this year Jeremy joined Brandon Gray on Banned.TV to describe what happened to him after he joined the Oath Keepers in November.
Jeremy released a video of his encounter with government officials when they came to his home. Jeremy also released audio of his meeting with the FBI at a local restaurant.
Jeremy explains in his video that the FBI called his cellphone and asked for a meeting after trying to contact him at his house. Jeremy then met with the FBI agents at a restaurant in Ybor City in December. He told Brandon Gray that 38 seconds into the interview the FBI attempted to recruit him to spy on the Oath Keepers.
The Gateway Pundit spoke with Jeremy Brown earlier this year. Jeremy was SAFE at the time, but laying low and keeping on the move until he says he has “a full grasp on any fallout that is sure to result.”
