Houston, TX – Following the Capitol riot on January 6, another Houston area resident has been arrested in a connection to the event.
Wilmar Jeovanny Montano Alvarado, Houston based and local business owner, was arrested and charged with violent entry or disorderly conduct; entering a restricted building or grounds; civil disorder; assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers or employees; and obstruction of an official proceeding, the FBI reported.
Alvarado had an interview on TV just 2 days after the Capitol riot claiming he went to Washington to “protect the country” with protesting against the election of President Joe Biden. He also added that he was unwillingly pushed toward the building doors by the crowd.
The suspect voluntarily identified himself to investigators ten days after the incident claiming he took part of the protest; however, he did not enter the building or assault any of the officers.
But after detailed investigation and video proof, police found out that he was pushing toward the police line with a hand on a police shield.
Alvarado owns Betty’s Bakery and Restaurant in Pasadena. He is the third Houston-area resident to be arrested in connection with the riot.
