One problem for Gionet: he is currently facing charges that he
maced a bouncer who kicked him out of Giligin's Bar And Shrimp Hut in Scottsdale last month. The incident, also caught on a livestream by one of his associates, led to him spending the night in jail and catching misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct, and criminal trespassing.
Gionet was released without bail, but Scottsdale prosecutors said in a filing Friday that a condition of release was that he stay in the state of Arizona and continue to follow the law. They're asking a judge to revoke his release for violating those clauses.
"The city prosecutor’s office became aware of his presence at the Capitol, reviewed his release conditions, and determined that he had violated them," said Kelly Corsette, a city spokesperson.
While many other publicly identified participants in the riot have been charged with trespassing or violent acts, Gionet does not appear to have been charged in connection to the incident as of Tuesday, according to federal court records. A spokesperson for the Phoenix FBI field office referred questions to the national office in D.C., which did not respond.
