Federal agents have arrested a Florida man who authorities said was caught on camera breaking windows and clashing with cops guarding the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6 — and denied that he was there and that he was the person in a picture showed to him by the FBI.
George Gonzalez, 46, is charged with assaulting officers, obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, destruction of government property, trespassing and disorderly conduct, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. He was seen on video entering Capitol grounds that day through the West Front of the building, officials said. He allegedly broke a window to get into the building and confronted police inside, court documents said.
He went into the building again later by allegedly breaking a windowpane and climbing through. Inside, Gonzalez allegedly joined other rioters at the Crypt and charged at a police line but was pushed back by officers. He allegedly charged again, with the crowd eventually overwhelming police, pushing further into the building.
Gonzalez and other rioters forced police back past the House Wing Door and through the Hall of Columns, authorities said. Then, he allegedly went upstairs to the second floor and hung around the Statuary Hall Connector, which leads to the House of Representatives floor, for about eight minutes before he was escorted out by police, ending his 42-minute jaunt inside the Capitol building.
