Eduardo Nicolas Alvear Gonzalez
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageEduardo Nicolas Alvear Gonzalez walked into the Capitol Rotunda on January 6, 2021 and recorded what he saw. By the government's account he also shared marijuana with others inside, which is how the press ended up calling him the "Rotunda doobie smoker." (FACT: Courthouse News, Law & Crime.) No violence was alleged against him. And when it came time, he took responsibility. FACT: He was charged by criminal information, pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor count, and on March 3, 2022 was sentenced to two years of probation, including 200 hours of community service, plus a $1,000 fine and $500 restitution. Read that again: 200 hours given back to his community. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. (FACT.) Case record: 1:21-cr-115, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Charged by information 2/11/21; pleaded guilty 9/30/21; sentenced 3/3/22.
