Anthime Joseph Gionet aka "Baked Alaska", was arrested yesterday in Houston, Texas.
Gionet is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Gionet, an online troll, livestreamed being at the U.S.Capitol on January 6.
Gionet was already facing misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass in Arizona. Gionet allegedly refused to leave a Scottsdale bar and pepper sprayed an employee.
He had been released from custody with certain conditions including he not leave the state without the court's permission. A warrant was issued for his arrest by a Scottsdale Judge because Gionet violated those terms by going to Washington D.C.
This is just one excerpt for the statement of facts by Special Agent Nicole Miller.
"In the video, the defendant and the individuals he is with be can seen in the United States Capitol Building and can be heard chanting, “Patriots are in control,” “whose house? Our house,” and “traitors, traitors, traitors….” The defendant can be heard remarking, “1776 baby,” “I won’t leave guys, don’t worry.” At the 2:52 minute mark in the YouTube video the defendant, who is livestreaming the event from his device, turns the phone around to show his face and is clearly identifiable. The defendant is a known social media personality and is thus recognizable. At the 7:06 mark on the YouTube video the defendant approaches an exterior window and is offered a hand to exit the Capitol building. The defendant remarks “I’m staying” and remains in the building. At approximately the 9:40 mark in the YouTube video the defendant can be heard remarking “We are in the Capitol Building, 1776 will commence again.” At approximately the 12:40 mark in the YouTube video the defendant can be heard remarking “Unleash the Kraken, let’s go.” The defendant is repeatedly heard encouraging other protestors not to leave.
