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.
