A digital billboard on Nine Mile Road recently has been flashing a message from the FBI announcing that the agency is seeking information on the violence at the Capitol. The billboard announces that tips can be reported to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or visiting fbi.gov/USCAPITOL. FBI headquarters has placed a general ad with a billboard advertising company, and so those companies run billboards or place advertisements on electronic billboards all over the country, said FBI spokeswoman Amanda Videll. Wherever there is space, they just run them on whatever billboards they manage. It might run on that billboard as long as there is space and the companies are willing to do that. But they are placed at random.”
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.
