Case Summary
Jeremy Baouche first came to the attention of federal law enforcement in a case of mistaken identity. A number of tipsters identified him in a photograph put out by the FBI, but that individual was later determined to be someone else: Elliot Bishai, who was arrested in March 2021. However, Baouche's employer — Electric Boat, a Pentagon contractor — voluntarily provided law enforcement with Baouche's work computer's search history, which included searches about the U.S. Capitol's layout, Trump protests, and "FBI Capitol," court documents indicate. A Google search warrant also allegedly yielded information that showed a phone associated with Baouche was inside the U.S. Capitol during the time of the Jan. 6 insurrection. Upon reviewing video from inside the Capitol, the FBI found video in which Baouche is allegedly seen entering the building while carrying a megaphone. Baouche declined to speak with the FBI without a lawyer.
Case History
Baouche pleaded Guilty to one charge: Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building. The other charges are dismissed. Sentenced to 30 days incarceration; 2 years of probation; $10 special assessment; $500 restitution; $2,000 fine. Baouche received a full pardon on January 20, 2025
