Jesus D. Rivera
A suspect in the January 6 siege at the U.S. Capitol has made an appearance in Federal Court in Pensacola.
FBI agents and agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforement and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jesus D. Rivera, 37, of Pensacola at his home Wednesday morning, said Lawrence Keefe, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
Rivera was taken into custody without incident.
Appearing Wednesday before Chief U.S. Magistrate Elizabeth Timothy, Rivera was granted pretrial release after prosecutors deemed him not to be a flight risk.
Rivera’s freedom is conditional: limited travel; meeting with a probation officer, and forfeiting all firearms. He faces a myriad of charges, including entering restricted grounds without authority; impeding with government business, and disorderly and disruptive conduct.
