    Capitol rioter dubbed ‘Doobie Smoker’ will remain in jail

    February 12, 2021 at 7:10 pm EST

    Eduardo Nicolas Alvear Gonzalez, 32, of Ventura, nicknamed the “The Capitol Rotunda Doobie Smoker,” was arrested in an apartment in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on Tuesday, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

    On Friday, Gonzalez was ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Lawrence Leonard to remain jailed and transferred to Washington, D.C., where his next hearing will be held on charges related to the riot at the Capitol, according to The Associated Press.

    Gonzalez is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

    In several videos posted online after the Jan. 6 riot, a long-haired man with American flag pants is seen standing in the building’s rotunda with what appears to be a self-rolled cigarette in his hand, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

    “It’s time to smoke weed in here,” the man yells in one of the recordings, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Bosse in a criminal complaint filed. After lighting the joint, the man hands out several others to fellow rioters, the complaint said.

    In a YouTube video titled “The Capitol Rotunda Doobie Smoker explains why he did it,” Gonzalez responds “Freedom” when somebody on the video asked why he was smoking in the Capitol,

    The day after the insurrection, Gonzales live-streamed a Zoom video, The Virginian-Pilot reported. Gonzalez described numerous photos and videos taken in the Capitol building and talked about going into the building to “take our country back,” the complaint said. Gonzalez also talked about how he and others walked around looking for “doors to break in,” according to the complaint.

    STATEMENT OF FACTS By the Government

    Your affiant, , is a Special Agent assigned to FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task
    Force (JTTF) in Cincinnati, Ohio, Columbus Resident Agency. In my duties as a Special Agent,
    I investigate international and domestic terrorism offenses. Currently, I am tasked with
    investigating criminal activity in and around the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. As a Special
    Agent, I am authorized by law or by a Government agency to engage in or supervise the prevention,
    detention, investigation, or prosecution of a violation of Federal criminal laws.
    The U.S. Capitol is secured 24 hours a day by U.S. Capitol Police. Restrictions around the
    U.S. Capitol include permanent and temporary security barriers and posts manned by U.S. Capitol
    Police. Only authorized people with appropriate identification were allowed access inside the U.S.
    Capitol. On January 6, 2021, the exterior plaza of the U.S. Capitol was also closed to members of
    the public.
    On January 6, 2021, a joint session of the United States Congress convened at the United
    States Capitol, which is located at First Street, SE, in Washington, D.C. During the joint session,
    elected members of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate were
    meeting in separate chambers of the United States Capitol to certify the vote count of the Electoral
    College of the 2020 Presidential Election, which had taken place on November 3, 2020. The joint
    session began at approximately 1:00 p.m. Shortly thereafter, by approximately 1:30 p.m., the
    House and Senate adjourned to separate chambers to resolve a particular objection. Vice President
    Mike Pence was present and presiding, first in the joint session, and then in the Senate chamber.
    As the proceedings continued in both the House and the Senate, and with Vice President
    Mike Pence present and presiding over the Senate, a large crowd gathered outside the U.S. Capitol.
    As noted above, temporary and permanent barricades were in place around the exterior of the U.S.
    Capitol building, and U.S. Capitol Police were present and attempting to keep the crowd away
    from the Capitol building and the proceedings underway inside.
    At such time, the certification proceedings were still underway and the exterior doors and
    windows of the U.S. Capitol were locked or otherwise secured. Members of the U.S. Capitol Police
    attempted to maintain order and keep the crowd from entering the Capitol; however, shortly around
    2:00 p.m., individuals in the crowd forced entry into the U.S. Capitol, including by breaking
    windows and by assaulting members of the U.S. Capitol Police, as others in the crowd encouraged
    and assisted those acts.
    Shortly thereafter, at approximately 2:20 p.m. members of the United States House of
    Representatives and United States Senate, including the President of the Senate, Vice President
    Mike Pence, were instructed to and did evacuate the chambers. Accordingly, the joint session
    of the United States Congress was effectively suspended until shortly after 8:00 p.m. Vice
    President Pence remained in the United States Capitol from the time he was evacuated from the
    Senate Chamber until the sessions resumed.
    During national news coverage of the aforementioned events, video footage which
    appeared to be captured on mobile devices of persons present on the scene depicted evidence of

    violations of local and federal law, including scores of individuals inside the U.S. Capitol building
    without authority to be there.
    Social Media Evidence of ADAMS’ Participation in the Events of January 6
    On approximately January 7, 2021, an informant (W-1), provided a tip to the FBI
    identifying ADAMS. W-1 identified himself. He did not know ADAMS personally, but explained
    that he was friends with a high school classmate of ADAMS’. W-1 provided the information
    regarding ADAMS voluntarily, without financial compensation or other enticement/inducement,
    and W-1’s information was corroborated through a ereview of publicly available information and
    law enforcement records. W-1 told the FBI that ADAMS is associated with the Instagram account
    with a username of jokerschild1994 and had videotaped himself breaking into the U.S. Capitol.
    W-2 provided a screen recording of ADAMS’ Instagram story (video) which was posted
    on January 7, 2021. The FBI reviewed the Instagram story, which includes close-up video of
    individuals breaking in to the Capitol, photos of Washington, D.C., landmarks, and statements
    including “We stormed the Capitol building and the senate today! I can tell my grandchildren I
    was there!” It also includes video of a crowd walking toward the Capitol, and someone (who
    seems to be the person holding the camera) can be heard saying, in substance, that they were going
    to break into the Capitol and that the Capitol police better have enough pepper spray.
    Instagram records confirmed that the Instagram account jokerschild1994 is associated with
    ADAMS, with an e-mail address of jokerschild1994@gmail.com, and T-Mobile phone number
    ***-***-5569. Records provided by Facebook (username jared.adams.35325) include the same
    e-mail address and phone number. Records lawfully provided by Google reveal that the mobile
    device associated with jokerschild1994@gmail.com belonged to a Google account registered in
    the name of Jared Hunter ADAMS. The Google account also lists a recovery SMS phone number
    that matches ***-***5569, the same number as identified above. Information from law
    enforcement databases indicates that ADAMS lives in Plain City, Ohio. The FBI reviewed
    ADAMS’ application for an Ohio driver’s license, which contains the same phone number (***-
    ***-5569)). In addition, three managers of apartment complexes where ADAMS either lived or
    applied for an apartment between 2017 and July 2019 also confirmed his phone number.
    Location Data Indicating ADAMS’ Presence at the Capitol on January 6
    According to records lawfully obtained from Google, a mobile device associated
    with jokerschild1994@gmail.com was present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Google
    estimates device location using sources including GPS data and information about nearby Wi-Fi
    access points and Bluetooth beacons. This location data varies in its accuracy, depending on the
    source(s) of the data. As a result, Google assigns a “maps display radius” for each location data
    point. Thus, where Google estimates that its location data is accurate to within 10 meters, Google
    assigns a “maps display radius” of 10 meters to the location data point. Finally, Google reports
    that its “maps display radius” reflects the actual location of the covered device approximately 68%
    of the time. In this case, Google location data shows that a device associated with
    jokerschild1994@gmail.com was within the U.S. Capitol from approximately 2:53 p.m. until
    approximately 4:40 p.m. for a total approximate time inside the U.S. Capitol of one hour and 47

    Case 1:21-cr-00212-ABJ Document 1-1 Filed 03/08/21 Page 3 of 7
    minutes. Google records show that the “maps display radius” for this location data was less than
    100 feet, which encompasses an area that is partially within the U.S. Capitol Building.
    As illustrated in the map below, the listed locations encompass areas that are partially
    within the U.S. Capitol Building during 2:53 p.m. until 4:40 p.m. Specifically, Google location
    data shows that a device associated with jokerschild1994@gmail.com was within the U.S. Capitol
    at the times and locations shown in the map below (at the locations reflected by each darker blue
    circle), with the “maps display radius” reflected in the map below (as reflected in a lighter blue
    ring around each darker blue circle). In addition, as illustrated in the map below, the listed
    locations were entirely within areas of the U.S. Capitol Grounds which were restricted on January
    6, 2021.

    The FBI has reviewed the available information for jokerschild1994@gmail.com in order
    to determine whether there was any evidence that devices associated with that address could have
    lawfolly been inside the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. The information for that
    address did not match any information for persons lawfolly within the Capitol. Accordingly, I
    believe that the individual possessing this device was not authorized to be within the U.S. Capitol
    Building on January 6, 2021.
    Video Evidence of ADAMS' Intrusion into the Capitol on January 6
    Case 1:21-cr-00212-ABJ Document 1-1 Filed 03/08/21 Page 5 of 7
    The FBI also obtained a copy of ADAMS ' Ohio driver's license.
    Based on the above information, your Affiant was able to locate Jared ADAMS on U.S.
    Capitol Police security video from inside the U.S. Capitol. Photos from this video footage were
    created. In the footage, ADAMS is wearing an Ohio State sweatshni and a backwards baseball
    cap. Your affiant compared ADAMS' driver's license photo to photographs below and reasonably
    believes that the individual cii·cled is ADAMS.
    On Febrnary 19, 2021, the FBI interviewed Jared ADAMS' former roommate (W-2). W-2
    lived with ADAMS for approximately two years, between 2017 and 2019. During the interview,
    W-2 identified ADAMS in the photos that were created from the video footage from inside the
    U.S. Capitol. W-2 viewed two photos. When W-2 viewed the photo below, he ci.J.·cled, drew an

    Case 1:21-cr-00212-ABJ Document 1-1 Filed 03/08/21 Page 6 of 7
    arrow toward, and initialed near a person he thought was ADAMS. W-2 was not confident that
    the person he circled, drew an arrow to, and initialed was Jared ADAMS. The person W-2
    identified is not the same person identified by the FBI, and does not appear to be ADAMS.
    W-2 was then shown the photo below. W-2 circled, drew an arrow toward, and initialed
    an individual he stated he was positive was ADAMS. The individual who W-2 identified was the
    same individual the FBI had identified as ADAMS.
    Case 1:21-cr-00212-ABJ Document 1-1 Filed 03/08/21 Page 7 of 7
    Based on the foregoing, your affiant submits that there is probable cause to believe that
    ADAMS violated 18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(l) and (2), which makes it a crime to (1) knowingly enter
    or remain in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do; and (2) knowingly,
    and with intent to impede or disrnpt the orderly conduct of Government business or official
    functions, engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted
    building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrnpts the orderly conduct
    ofGovernment business or official functions; or attempts or conspires to do so. For purposes of
    Section 1752 of Title 18, a "restricted building" includes a posted, cordoned off, or othe1wise
    restricted area ofa building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret
    Service, including the Vice President, is or will be temporarily visiting; or any building or grounds
    so restricted in conjunction with an event designated as a special event ofnational significance.
    Your affiant submits there is also probable cause to believe that ADAMS violated 40
    U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D) and (G), which makes it a crime to willfully and knowingly (D) utter loud,
    threatening, or abusive language, or engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place in the
    Grounds or in any ofthe Capitol Buildings with the intent to impede, disrnpt, or disturb the orderly
    conduct of a session of Congress or either House of Congress, or the orderly conduct in that
    building of a hearing before, or any deliberations of, a committee ofCongress or either House of
    Congress; and (G) parade, demonstrate, or picket in any ofthe Capitol Buildings.
